Objective: to know the influence of rehabilitation nursing care on the recovery of functional independence of the patient. Method: descriptive-correlational, quantitative, cross-sectional study with non-probability sampling of accidental typology. Inclusion criteria: functional independence measure ≤90 and patients subject to immobility. Exclusion criteria: patients with neoplastic diseases and altered state of consciousness. For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire and the MIF Scale were used. Results: The sample data (n = 40) reveal an average age of 76.4 years, mostly women (57.5%), married (55%), with the first level of education (70%), and were subject to 49.6 days of immobility on average. Functional independence improved significantly from the 1st (46.69) to the 2nd assessment (94.61). Conclusion: immobility tends to impair the person's quality of life and health, requiring professional intervention. These people under the care of rehabilitation nurses, recovered 36.98% of their functional independence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
