Faced with the aging of the population, geriatric rehabilitation is emerging, within the sciences of rehabilitation and readaptation, as an essential axis that requires a change of perspective. The writing of this book required an interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach: through the different chapters, bridges are created between recent scientific data and rehabilitation practices. Thus, the human sciences shed light on the chapters devoted to the training of students, to relational aspects through life stories, to ethics and the societal perspective... In turn, the sciences of movement provide new keys to understanding the assessment and techniques used in rehabilitation, most often cognitive-motor, which takes into account the specificities of normal aging and frailty.
