GERIATRIC REHABILITATION
Geriatric rehabilitation helps older adults maintain or recover physical abilities that may decline with age, illness, or surgery. Changes in balance, muscle strength, and joint movement can make activities like walking outdoors, using stairs, or standing up from a chair more demanding. At Beverly Orthopedic Center, we provide rehabilitation care that considers the health concerns and physical limitations of elderly patients, helping them stay mobile, reduce their risk of falls, and remain as independent as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ's)
What is geriatric rehabilitation, and who needs it?
Geriatric rehabilitation helps older adults recover from injuries, surgery, or illness and manage age-related physical difficulties. It is particularly useful for seniors experiencing weakness, poor balance, or trouble walking.
What are the benefits of geriatric rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation can help older adults maintain muscle strength, improve walking ability, and lower certain fall risks. It may also make activities such as climbing stairs or getting out of a chair easier.
Can elderly patients regain mobility after a long hospital stay?
Yes, many older adults can improve their mobility after hospitalisation. Rehabilitation may help rebuild strength and walking endurance lost during prolonged bed rest or inactivity.
What treatments are included in geriatric rehab?
Treatment may involve gentle strengthening exercises, balance training, walking practice, and joint mobility activities. The exercises depend on the patient’s health, comfort, and ability to move safely.
How long does elderly rehabilitation usually take?
Recovery can take several weeks or longer, depending on the patient’s condition. Someone recovering from a hip fracture may need a different rehabilitation timeline than a person experiencing gradual muscle weakness.
When should an older adult start rehabilitation?
An older adult may need rehabilitation when walking becomes difficult, falls become more frequent, or physical weakness affects daily activities. After surgery or illness, the appropriate starting time should be discussed with their healthcare provider.
