Geriatric motivation. Clinically helping the elderly to comply.
1. Motivation must be considered separately from compliance. Compliance implies manipulation whereas motivation is not something we "do to" a patient. 2. Many factors can stimulate patient motivation. These include both internal (medication, nutrition, sensory, and cognitive changes) and external (social norms) factors, as well as beliefs and past experiences. 3. Many strategies can help motivate the elderly to comply. It is helpful to set goals with the patient, explore fears of failure, establish frequent rewards, set a low stress environment, use role models, and evaluate each patient as an individual.

Rehabilitation is for elderly too!
With the growing number of individuals 65 and older, there is now a greater need for geriatric rehabilitation. Candidates for rehabilitation need to be evaluated prior to treatment. It is then that appropriate rehabilitation can be instituted and patients returned home at their highest functional level. This article describes the evaluation process used for patients considering geriatric rehabilitation placement. Case studies are used as descriptive examples.
