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

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.

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

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
