Abstract
The publication responds to the current state of population aging. It is necessary to maintain the physical activity of the elderly as long as possible, despite the possible current polymorbidity and polypragmasia.
It is medical physical education and physiotherapeutic methods that play an important role here. It is necessary to maintain a certain degree of safety for the patient and to modify individual procedures with regard to his age and reduced physical capabilities.
Some concurrent diseases preclude the use of certain physical methods and procedures. Even normal physical activity can be burdensome for a senior.
A similar publication is still missing on our book market. The publication is intended for students of medicine faculties, biomedical engineering, physiotherapists and doctors for use in practice.
