Rehabilitation is the coordinated use of therapeutic interventions to help individuals regain, maintain, or improve functional ability and independence following injury, illness, surgery, or disability. It spans physical, occupational, cognitive, and psychosocial domains and is especially important in the care of older adults, who may experience declines in physical, cognitive, or sensory function and consequent need for restorative support. Research in this area addresses rehabilitation across diverse clinical contexts, including recovery of patients with sepsis in intensive care, occupational therapy for multiple sclerosis and the barriers and facilitators to its implementation, and dental rehabilitation through implant strategies. Outcomes-focused work examines the prediction of discharge disposition in geriatric patients after traumatic injury, recovery following cardiovascular events, and the management of secondary hip fractures among aging adults. Other studies consider hydration assessment in older hospitalized people, the rehabilitative implications of long COVID and frailty, and the restoration of specific functions such as writing performance after stroke. Psychological and behavioral dimensions feature as well, reflecting the integration of mental and physical recovery. By combining assessment, targeted therapy, and multidisciplinary coordination, rehabilitation seeks to reduce disability, support adaptation, and restore participation in daily life. In the context of aging, it is central to preserving independence, managing the consequences of chronic and acute conditions, and improving quality of life.
