Description

Shogo Kawada and colleagues followed in 2026 older adults for six months after they finished home-based rehabilitation, to see how daily living skills changed. Little was known about outcomes after such programs end. The multicenter study covered adults aged sixty-five and over, rating activities of daily living at the end of rehab and again later.

Of forty-nine people, more than three quarters kept or improved their daily living scores after six months, while about one fifth declined. Lower cognitive function was the clear factor tied to decline. The authors say people with weaker cognition need continued monitoring and support after home rehab ends, to hold onto gains in daily life.
