[Telemedicine in the rehabilitation of older people living at home].
Background: Maintaining the autonomy, independence and social participation of older adults is a cornerstone of geriatric care. Against the background of demographic change and the stagnating expansion of inpatient rehabilitation capacities, new care models are of increasing interest. Telerehabilitation could be a promising supplementation to existing structures.
Objective: This article analyzes the potential, challenges and evidence for telerehabilitation in the home environment of older adults.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review is used to present applications and evidence of the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in older adults. In addition, factors that promote or hinder its implementation and utilization are identified.
Results: Telemedical services enable an extension of the rehabilitative range. To date, various communication media and rehabilitation contents have been applied. Telerehabilitation options for older people demonstrate functional and psychosocial benefits; however, only a few studies have investigated a multiprofessional program which would be transferable to the care structures of geriatrics in Germany.
Discussion: Adapted concepts are required for the nationwide integration of telerehabilitation into geriatric care. The feasibility and effectiveness must be studied within the context of the German care structures. In addition, legal and structural framework conditions need to be further developed.
期刊介绍:
The fact that more and more people are becoming older and are having a significant influence on our society is due to intensive geriatric research and geriatric medicine in the past and present. The Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie has contributed to this area for many years by informing a broad spectrum of interested readers about various developments in gerontology research. Special issues focus on all questions concerning gerontology, biology and basic research of aging, geriatric research, psychology and sociology as well as practical aspects of geriatric care.
Target group: Geriatricians, social gerontologists, geriatric psychologists, geriatric psychiatrists, nurses/caregivers, nurse researchers, biogerontologists in geriatric wards/clinics, gerontological institutes, and institutions of teaching and further or continuing education.
