Motor rehabilitation in the aged. Clinical evaluation of the physiokinesis therapy department at a geriatric division for acute diseases

: Physiokinesitherapeutic results obtained in a geriatrics division showed that aged subjects with motor is injuries have the same chance of recovery as those in middle age. The time required for each stage and the overall duration of treatment are more or less the same. No special technological differences are involved, though close psychological training is necessary, and encouragement of the open brain-environment system may useful. Restrictions, though hardly even contraindications, may be encountered in the form of other infirmities more commonly associated with age. It is clear, therefore, that physiotherapy should always be attempted in the aged, in keeping with the clinical picture as well as the motor lesions involved. Physiokinesitherapy Geriatrics.
