Similarities and differences in the way geriatric rehabilitation is viewed in the Federal Republic of Germany and in the United States are highlighted. The philosophy and goals of geriatric rehabilitation in both countries are basically similar. However, there are some differences, particularly in practice applications and in how the historical and social contexts of each country influence what is emphasized. This article traces the relevant knowledge components and practice application in each country and makes some comparisons. In addition, differences in how members of the geriatric team function are described, as well as the varying educational preparations of team members. Developments in both countries suggest that substantial integration of knowledge already has taken place. The continuation of this trend should bode well for the future.
本文着重介绍了德意志联邦共和国和美国在老年康复观念上的异同。两国老年康复的理念和目标基本相似。然而，也存在一些差异，特别是在实际应用以及各国的历史和社会背景如何影响重点强调内容方面。本文追溯了两国相关的知识组成部分和实际应用，并进行了一些比较。此外，还描述了老年康复团队成员职能的差异以及团队成员不同的教育背景。两国的发展表明，知识的实质性整合已经发生。这一趋势的持续对未来而言应是个好兆头。
