Abstract
Persons older than 80 are a significant group of patients in outpatient clinics.The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of physiotherapeutic treatment of pain experienced by geriatric patients and to evaluate the basic activities in their daily lives before and after the 10 days improvement of the elderly during ambulatory treatment. The study was conducted at the Medical Center in Strzelin. The study group consisted of patients over 80 years of age (18 women and 6 men) with an average age of 86 ± 8, with pain caused by osteoarthritis, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, pericarditis and periarthritis. It has been shown that physiotherapeutic treatment in people over 80 significantly reduces feelings of pain and does not affect the improvement of basic activities in everyday life.
