“…1,24 Moreover, it is not surprising individuals continue to decline across markers of health and wellbeing in the nursing home setting, prominently associated to extended sitting, high levels and the progression of chronic disease, and a lack of intervention to promote physical gains. 25,26 However, in a recent review of exercise in the nursing home setting, evidence supports that appropriate physical activity, and specifically weight bearing exercise, can be effective at increasing muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance, thereby targeting the three physical components associated to sarcopenia. 27 This is supported by recent work from our group that showed a reduced transition in sarcopenia among adults doing resistance training, accompanied by increased muscle strength and physical performance following 24 weeks of twice weekly progressive resistance plus balance training.…”

“…Although depression can be a barrier to participation in PT, physical rehabilitation may actually have the potential to indirectly improve mood; indeed, there is some evidence that physical rehabilitation can improve mood for residents in LTC, although results are conflicting. 40 Another potential explanation is that older residents and those with cognitive impairments may not actively seek out rehabilitation services and are therefore less likely to receive them. Although difficult clinical decisions arise about allocation of scarce rehabilitation services, it is important to ensure that cognitive impairment does not lead to automatic exclusion from referral to PT and OT.…”

Purpose: To describe the proportion of residents receiving occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) and the factors associated with receiving PT in long-term care (LTC) facilities across five provinces and one territory in Canada. Methods: Using a population-based, retrospective analysis of crosssectional data, the proportion of LTC facility residents in each province or territory receiving three different amounts (time and frequency) of PT, OT, or both before July 1, 2013, was calculated according to the Resource Utilization Groups-III rehabilitation classifications. Twenty-three variables from the Resident Assessment Instrument 2.0, such as age and cognition, were examined as correlates; those significant at p < 0.01 were included in a multivariate logistic regression. Results: Between 63.7% and 88.6% of residents did not receive any PT or OT; 0.8%-12.6% received both PT and OT; 5.8%-29.5% received an unspecified amount of PT; 1.9%-7.0% received 45 minutes or more of PT 3 days or more per week; and fewer than 1% received 150 minutes or more of PT on 5 or more days per week. Province, age, cognitive status, depression, clinical status, fracture, multiple sclerosis, and self-rated potential for improvement were associated with PT irrespective of time intensity. Conclusions: The proportion of LTC residents receiving rehabilitation services varies across Canada and appears to be associated with physical impairments and the potential for improvement; older residents with cognitive impairment or mood disorders are less likely to receive rehabilitation services. Future recommendations should consider what is driving the patterns of service use, determine whether the resources available are appropriate, and address the most appropriate goals for residents in LTC.Key Words: aged; long-term care; occupational therapy; rehabilitation.

“…Att personal skapar och främjar aktivering innebär att de har ett rehabiliterande arbets-och förhållningssätt. Två litteraturgenomgångar (Crocker et al, 2013;Forster et al, 2011) har publicerats där fokus har varit rehabilitering för äldre personer inom särskilt boende. Ingen av dessa genomgångar har visat vad personalen har för roll när det gäller att skapa möjligheter till fysisk aktivitet.…”
