Rehabilitation is a hugely important intervention for older people because of the high incidence and prevalence of disability in old age. Factors contributing to the high burden of disability in this sector of the population include the increased prevalence of chronic disabling disease (overt and covert), the potential rapid deterioration in function with acute illness, and vulnerability Cited by: Principles of rehabilitation of older people.
