The aging of the population is grim, and the functional disability of older adults is increasing, bringing heavy burden to society. Previous studies have shown that rehabilitation is beneficial to improve the various functional disorders of the functional disability of older adults, and help them recover their activities of daily living and improve their quality of life. However, the multi-disciplinary comprehensive management model is still in its infancy in China, and there is a lack of multi-disciplinary full-period comprehensive rehabilitation management exploration for the functional disability of older adults. Therefore, based on the relevant literature, this experts consensus summarizes the rehabilitation evaluation and intervention of the functional disability of older adults from nine functional dimensions: movement, vision, hearing, cognition, swallowing, cardiopulmonary, defecation, psychology and activities of daily life, in order to provide reference for the comprehensive rehabilitation management of the functional disability of older adults.
