Rehabilitation potential in older people living with frailty: a systematic mapping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Following periods of acute ill-health and injury, older people are frequently assessed and provided with rehabilitation services. Healthcare practitioners are required to make nuanced decisions about which patients are likely to benefit from and respond to rehabilitation. The clinical currency in which these decisions are transacted is through the term "rehabilitation potential". The aim of this study was to explore information about rehabilitation potential in older people to inform the development of an evidence-based assessment tool.

Methods

A systematic mapping review was completed to describe the extent of research and the concepts underpinning rehabilitation potential. We searched Medline, CINHAL, EMBASE, AMED, PsycINFO, PEDro, Cochrane Library, Web of Scien
