About

Due to demographic change in Switzerland, the proportion of older people in the population is expected to increase. It is therefore important that people in old age remain in the best of health and maintain their independence for a long time.

To this end, the investigators would like to demonstrate the effectiveness of inpatient geriatric rehabilitation at the Valens clinics. This will be done by comparing independence, quality of life, physical and mental health, mobility and hand strength on admission and discharge.
