Fisioterapia en las residencias para mayores de Galicia

In the last 10 years, the number of places available in geriatric residences in Galicia and the number of physiotherapists dedicated to this sector have significantly increased. However, the limited number of average weekly hours results in a much higher workload than usual in other sectors. Further studies, aimed at knowing the type of intervention programs used by physiotherapists of the geriatric residences, are needed in order to be able to assess the quality of care given.
