ELS can permanently alter the brain, leading to cognitive impairment, increased sensitivity to future stressors, and mental health risks. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a key brain region implicated in the effects of ELS.

We wanted to know whether functional change in the first week predicts subsequent improvement in a geriatric inpatient rehabilitation clinic.
Design: Observational longitudinal study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how different risk factors affect rehabilitation outcomes in older adults, focusing on functional abilities.
- Conducted in a geriatric inpatient rehabilitation setting, it involved 161 patients with an average age of 82, assessing their functional status weekly and at a follow-up four months later.
- Findings revealed that fear of falling is a significant predictor of rehabilitation success across most outcomes, highlighting the importance of addressing falls-related self-efficacy in future rehabilitation practices.
