In order to verify the effectiveness of various rehabilitation activities commonly used in geriatric clinics or nursing homes, a total of 453 persons from seven clinics/nursing homes had been assessed four times in 12 months by staff from the respective facility. First, the thesis of the multimorbidity in old age was confirmed by an average 4.4 diagnoses per patient. Rehabilitation measures were found to have been only rarely provided, with rehabilitative efforts having focussed mainly on the patients in better shape. On the other hand, visits from close relatives such as children or spouse are more frequent for patients who function at lower levels. It has been possible by cross-lagged correlation to demonstrate the positive effects of concentrated rehabilitative efforts undertaken over a period of twelve months. A significant correlation to specific rehabilitation techniques has not been stated.
为了验证老年诊所或养老院常用的各种康复活动的有效性，来自七个诊所/养老院的453人在12个月内由各机构的工作人员进行了四次评估。首先，通过每位患者平均4.4次诊断证实了老年人多种疾病并存的论点。结果发现，康复措施很少实施，康复工作主要集中在身体状况较好的患者身上。另一方面，对于功能水平较低的患者，子女或配偶等近亲的探访更为频繁。通过交叉滞后相关分析，已证明在十二个月期间进行集中康复努力的积极效果。但未提及与特定康复技术的显著相关性。
