Abstract

Often geriatric patients with secondary diagnosis dementia do not receive a rehabilitation treatment, although it is an obligatory service offered by the statutory health insurance. Scientists have examined the benefit of relevant measures for patients who are slightly or moderately affected with dementia. Thus, also these patients would profit by a rehabilitation.<br />Geriatrische Patienten mit Nebendiagnose Demenz erhalten oft keine Rehabilitation, obwohl diese zu den Pflichtleistungen der gesetzlichen Krankenkasse gehört. Wissenschaftler haben untersucht, ob und wenn ja, welchen Nutzen entsprechende Maßnahmen für leicht bis moderat demenzkranke Patienten haben. Demnach profitieren durchaus auch diese Patienten von einer Rehabilitation.
