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.
The paper focuses on dynamic measurement in geriatric medicine. Specific tools still require assessment of measurement properties, and use in healthy adults or other populations requires corresponding evidence.
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.
Research funding
