This Mini-Review showcases the latest evidence on rehabilitation opportunities for older people with multimorbidity and frailty. There is growing evidence, that a person-centered and contextualized rehabilitation approach may offer benefits, not only in the context of preserving mobility, but especially targeting social participation. Modern rehabilitation aligns with the bio-psycho-social model of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), emphasizing the individual and collaboratively determined definition of personalized rehabilitation goals at the activity and participation level.Further studies are warranted to evaluate objective outcome-measurement tools within the domains of activity and participation.
