Abstract:

The Geriatric Activation Program Pellenberg (GAPP), among other programs for geriatric rehabilitation, improves patient functioning. However, hospitalized patients rarely move enough to meet the WHO recommendation of 300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Increasing exercise time by physiotherapy is hindered by staffing and financial restrictions both being dependent on health care and hospital financing. Integrating unpaid caregivers in an geriatric rehabilitation program could close this gap. Along with the physiotherapist, we wish to make the patient's informal car

Abstract:

Very few physiotherapists are concerned with community health and the care of the elderly has a low priority amongst members of our profession. In a recent survey of our universities, it was found that very little time was allocated to preventive health and even less time was spent on gerontology during student training. All member organisations of the WCPT have been requested to place greater emphasis on geriatric care at pre-qualification level as well as in physiotherapy practice. The need to change our attitudes towards the elderly are discussed and ideas on preventive and promotive health
