Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Population aging has driven the search for strategies to promote quality of life for the elderly, especially those in home care. This study aimed to analyze the impact of home physiotherapy on the quality of life of elderly people in home care. This is an integrative literature review, conducted using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus, using the PRISMA strategy. The studies analyzed show that home physiotherapy helps to improve mobility, reduce pain, increase functional independence and provide emotional support. Randomized clinical trials demonstrate its effectiveness in the rehabilitation of elderly people with different clinical conditions, promoting greater autonomy and quality of life. In addition, home physiotherapy has been shown to be viable and accepted by patients, and is essential for preventing complications associated with immobility. We conclude that this approach is essential for the well-being of the elderly and should be expanded to ensure more active and healthy ageing.
