Summary: This clinical guide provides an overview of common pathologies and conditions in older people as well as the examinations, diagnostic procedures, and interventions that can be effectively used in their physical rehabilitation. The book is divided into eleven units. The first unit begins with key anatomical and physiological considerations seen with aging. The second and third units go on to review important aging-related conditions and disorders of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular/neurological systems respectively.

Aging-related conditions of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, integumentary and sensory systems are presented in units five through seven. Unit eight highlights a range of specific clinical problems and conditions commonly encountered with older patients. The ninth unit presents select physical therapeutic interventions that are especially important in managing rehabilitative care. Key societal issues related to aging are discussed in the tenth unit. Finally, the concluding eleventh unit focuses on the successful rehabilitation team that includes both professional and non-professional caregiver members.
