“…Most studies were conducted on small or mediumsized samples (n ¼ 14-87) (Emery and Gatz, 1990;McNeil et al, 1991;McMurdo and Burnett, 1992;Netz et al, 1994;Singh et al, 1997;Mather et al, 2002;Timonen et al, 2002;Chou et al, 2004).

“…The major points of intervention with respect to psychomotor skills and falls prevention are strength, stamina, suppleness, and coordination [6,18,22,23,33,53,55,60]. Becker et al [5] and Kressig and Beauchet [31] found that exercises targeting these dimensions also had positive effects on dementia patients.…”

Is it possible to maintain or even enhance functional and cognitive independence in residents of nursing homes? Little is known about the potentials and limits of therapeutic methods designed to maintain independence in elderly people already in need of residential nursing care. The aim of the "Rehabilitation in Nursing Homes" research project was to determine the practicability and effectiveness of a rehabilitative approach targeting residents of nursing homes. The main objectives of the activation program were to maintain and enhance residents' cognitive and functional autonomy. Data on psychological, functional, and medical variables were obtained from a sample of 294 nursing home residents (age range=70-99 years) at three points of measurement over a 12-month period. The intervention approach draws on the theoretical and practical findings of the SimA Study ("Bedingungen der Erhaltung und Förderung von Selbstständigkeit im höheren Lebensalter," "conditions on maintaining and supporting independent living in old age"; Oswald et al., Z. Gerontopsychol. Psychiatr., 15:61-84, 2002, Z. Gerontopsychol. Psychiatr., 15:13-31, 2002) and incorporates the results of recent therapeutic and rehabilitative studies in the fields of geriatrics and gerontopsychiatry. The intervention involves a combined program of cognitive and physical activation. An alternative program based on biographical information was designed specifically for residents with dementia. Results show that the intervention had significant effects on cognitive and functional parameters. Moreover, transfer effects were observed with respect to activities of daily living and frequency of falls.Keywords Nursing homes . Rehabilitation . Cognitive activation . Fall prevention . Activities of daily living Rehabilitation in nursing homesMost residents of nursing homes are elderly people in need of regular or around-the-clock nursing care [43]. Some 80% of the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have impaired mobility, 80% show cognitive impairment, and 70% experience symptoms of depression. Against this background, rehabilitative approaches to care [12] seek to maintain, enhance, or restore functional ability, or at least to prevent or delay the deterioration or loss of functioning and to help individuals adapt to irreversible losses in functional capacity.Epidemiological studies show that need for care is not determined by physical impairment or illness alone. In fact, it is characterized by multiple factors such as multimorbidity, mobility problems, cognitive impairment, psychological symptoms (primarily depression), and social isolation [25,40, 52]. Accordingly, multimodal intervention programs that target physical exercise and cognitive performance while, at the same time, promoting psychological well-being and social interaction should be most likely to have rehabilitative effects [1].
