Abstract
Multimorbidity poses a severe risk to the aged population. Multimorbidity has numerous outcomes, such as disability, impaired quality of life, and mortality. There is growing evidence regarding the use of rehabilitation techniques in the treatment of elderly people with multimorbidity. The benefits of rehabilitation in geriatric care include improvement in physical function and disability, prevention of polypharmacy, improvement in quality of life, and benefits related to the underlying diseases. Rehabilitation may consist of a broad range of therapeutic methods (i.e., exercises, electrotherapy, and multi-modal therapy). The current narrative review aimed to provide the recent evidence regarding the role of rehabilitation in the management of older adults with multimorbidity.
