| Popis: | Discuss issues of musculoskeletal rehabilitation unique to the aging female population. Physiologic and anatomic changes contribute to functional decline, morbidity, and mortality in aging women. As the lifespan increases, the burden of pain-related disability impacts women more commonly than men. Maintaining physical activity plays an important role in reducing the burden of disability. Physical function limitations are potentially modifiable but prevention is preferable. Further research in prevention and management of rehabilitation issues (including sarcopenia, frailty, and bone and joint disease) in aging women is important. |
