TAP reading note: Resilience in Clinical Care: Getting a Grip on the Recovery Potential of Older Adults

This clinical review distinguishes static estimates of physiological reserve from responses measured around a stressor. Repeated observations may reveal recovery potential that a single assessment cannot describe.

What the study found

This clinical review distinguishes static estimates of physiological reserve from responses measured around a stressor. Repeated observations may reveal recovery potential that a single assessment cannot describe.

Scope & limitations

Clinical and methodological review focused on older adults with complex health needs.

Dynamic measurements are promising but still need translation into validated clinical tools. Findings in geriatric care do not establish a universal resilience score for healthy adults.

Population & sample

Clinical and methodological review focused on older adults with complex health needs.

Exposure or intervention

Static reserve tests, stressor-response tests, recovery trajectories and interactions between subsystems.

Outcomes

Prediction and understanding of functional decline, resistance and recovery after health stressors.

Time frame

Measurements before and after stressors, with time scales determined by the clinical event and function.
