Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To investigate whether functional gains during day rehabilitation translate into improved life-space mobility and health-related quality of life, and to explore whether fall status and service utilization modify these associations.

Basic objectives -Others

This study aims to longitudinally examine changes in functional status, activity, and quality of life among community-dwelling older adults attending day rehabilitation services. Specifically, it investigates the mediation pathway through which functional improvements contribute to better life-space mobility and consequently to enhanced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). In addition, the study estimates the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) using patient-perceived improvement as an anchor and identifies functional activity profiles associated with clinical outcomes. The ultimate goal is to provide evidence for the measurable impact of day rehabilitation, facilitating data-driven quality improvement in clinical practice and service management.

Key inclusion criteria

1. Individuals who are newly enrolled in or currently attending the day rehabilitation program at our institution.
2. Community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years or older.
3. Participants who provide written informed consent after being informed of the study details.

Key exclusion criteria

1. Individuals with cognitive or severe physical conditions that make participation in assessments or questionnaire surveys substantially difficult.
