Rehabilitation plays a crucial role for elderly people with chronic neurologic diseases. The purpose of rehabilitation serves to restore capabilities and postpone dysfunction as the diseases progress. Comorbidities are common among older people, and, therefore, the rehabilitation approaches and outcomes for them may be different from the young population.

General rehabilitation principles for older people were also discussed to better understand the challenges we encounter during rehabilitative interventions of these diseases.
