Abstract		Working in the field of rehabilitation of an older adult requires special knowledge and experience. Members of the rehabilitation team have to take into account the changes of organs and organ functions that can come with ageing as well as with the social, psychological and economic status of the older person (1). The basic aim of the rehabilitation of the older adult is to achieve an optimal restauration of the person, physically, psychologically and socially, in the way that he or she can come back into the community as an independent person (2). The programme of the treatment has to be set high enough to motivate the person with the support of the team members. The members of the team are not only a physician, a nurse, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, a psychologist and a social worker but the patient's relatives, friends and helpers, as well. The role of the physiotherapist in the team work is important and is discussed in the present article.
Summary		Rehabilitacija starejših oseb temelji na znanju in izkušnjah, ki izhajajo iz dela s starejšimi. Upoštevati mora vse spremembe organov in organskih funkcij, ki nastajajo s staranjem in tudi socialni, psihični in ekonomski status star-ega človeka (1). Koncept rehabilitacije starostnikov zajema obnovo posameznika do optimalne psihofizične in socialne sposobnosti, da lahko živi neodvisno in človeka vredno življenje (2). Cilj rehabilitacije mora biti zastavljen dovolj visoko, da starostnika spodbudi in da ga lahko ob ustrezni strokovni pomoči rehabilitacijske delovne skupine uresniči. Delovna skupina poleg zdravnika, medicinske sestre, fizioterapevta, delovnega terapevta, psihologa in socialnega delavca vključuje tudi svojce, prijatelje in druge, ki skrbijo za starejšo osebo. Pomemben prispevek v kompleksnem programu rehabilitacije ima fizioterapija, katere program je predstavljen v tem prispevku.
