Abstract:
Sarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength and functional decline due to aging.In recent years, with the increase of the aging population, the incidence of the disease continues to rise.It is associated with a variety of adverse events such as falls, frailty, increased mortality, and other adverse events.Therefore, as research continues to lead to improved understanding on risk factors, pathophysiological mechanisms and intervention of sarcopenia, rehabilitation has become an important means in clinical treatment.This paper systematically reviews the progress in rehabilitation therapy for patients with sarcopenia, in order to summarize evidence for clinical intervention of sarcopenia.
