Abstract

A Correction has been published | View Modern rehabilitation is based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). We will discuss this Classification process in frailty. Frailty is defined as a condition of reduced functional reserve, a state of vulnerability that involves poor recovery of homeostasis and increased susceptibility to stressor mechanisms, with consequent difficulty in returning to the previous condition of balance. Rehabilitation of frailty is reported in the ICF, although, its consensus is not sufficiently addressed due to its recent identification and the limited available information regarding how it should be formulated. Thus, the aim of the present article is to present the current evidence-based rehabilitation strategies applied in management of frailty.
