Rehabilitation: Does Age Matter?
People of all ages can benefit from rehabilitation services. It is important
to note, however, that rehabilitation goals may differ from person to person,
depending on their age.
For example, a younger person after
rehabilitation is often looking to restore full and unrestricted function of his
or her life. An older person, however, may be looking to restore the ability to
carry on as many activities as possible to maintain self-independence and
autonomy--i.e., walking, eating, dressing, and bathing.
Nevertheless, age
alone should not be a reason to modify the intensity of rehabilitation treatment
or the goals that are set for the rehabilitation.
Most rehabilitation
programs strive to maximize recovery, so that patients may return home as
productive and self-sufficient as possible.
