Geriatric patients present multiple age-related challenges and needs that must be
taken into account during the rehabilitation process to achieve expected goals.
This article examines the importance of identifying and managing psychosocial
issues commonly observed in older adults and presents strategies to optimize
their rehabilitation process. Depression, anxiety, fear of falling, adjustment
issues, neurocognitive disorders, and caregiver support are discussed as a
selection of factors that are relevant for geriatric patients undergoing
rehabilitation. An argument is made for the importance of comprehensive geriatric
assessment in older adults to identify salient issues that may impact
rehabilitation and quality of life.
