  1. CHANGES IN QUALITY OF LIFE AND PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AMONG THE ELDERLY PARTICIPATING IN MULTI-ACTUATOR GERONTOLOGICAL REHABILITATION Minna-Liisa Luoma, Susanna Mukkila, Mariitta Vaara , Monica Röberg Minna-Liisa Luoma | IFA2012 30 May 2012

  2. Quality of life and functional capacity among elderly participating in rehabilitation intervention (IKKU) 2009-2013 • Gerontological rehabilitation intervention study (includes physical and psycho-social rehabilitation) • Participants (N=480) has lowered functional capacity and suffer from musculoskeletal diseases • Measures: Quality of life, Physical functioning capacity tests, psychological functioning, cognitive functioning and self evaluated functional capacity. • Compare the baseline results with 6 and 12 months follow-up & with Finnish general population Minna-Liisa Luoma | IFA2012 30 May 2012

  3. The co-operative rehabilitation for aged rehabilitees • Targeted to elderly whose coping at home was threatened because of decreasing functional capacity. • Intended to maintain functioning and enhance the independence, meaningful living of older inhabitants in home settings and their participation in society. • Central aim was promoting quality of life (QoL) and functional capacity.

  4. Aims of the study to evaluate changes over time in • quality of life, • functional capacity and • pain among the participants of a rehabilitation intervention. Minna-Liisa Luoma | IFA2012 30 May 2012

  6. Methods • WHO QOL-BREF to assess quality of life • Short Physical Performance Battery index to assess physical performance • Visual analog scale to assess pain • QoL, physical performance and pain were measured at baseline, at 6 and 12 months. • T- Test were used • A significance level p< = 0.05 was set a priori for all analyses Minna-Liisa Luoma | IFA2012 30 May 2012

  8. Results • The quality of life of 63-72 % of the participants was maintained the same or increased in 6 and 12 months, depending on QOL domain. • Physical performance was maintained or increased for 73 % of participants. • The severity of pain decreased and the proportion of participants who were suffering severe or moderate pain decreased Minna-Liisa Luoma | IFA2012 30 May 2012

  14. Pain: Visual analog scale

  15. Conclusions Results indicate that the elderly participating in rehabilitation intervention benefit from gerontological rehabilitation in terms of QOL and Physical performance. Minna-Liisa Luoma | IFA2012 30 May 2012
