Functional goals and outcomes of rehabilitation within palliative care: a multicentre prospective cohort study
Functional goals in palliative care typically focus on optimising activity and participation in the short term. Progress towards personalised goals can be achieved through personalised rehabilitation, including among people with deteriorating health or largely confined to bed. Goal Attainment Scaling can help direct and evaluate rehabilitation interventions in this setting.
