The results for the psychomotor rehabilitation programs during stay in the subacute care nursing home.

Abstract

The modifications of certain psychophysical parameters were evaluated in an elderly population admitted to our subacute care nursing home (abbreviated from the Italian name: "Residenza Sanitaria Assistenziale" as RSA) during the year 2002. These patients, admitted to undergo psychomotor rehabilitative interventions, were evaluated under a cognitive, affective and functional profile at the beginning and at the end of the treatment. Our study showed an increase in all of these performances by the end of the prescribed therapeutic program.
