ABSTRACT
Recovery and rehabilitation are crucial aspects of patient care. Influencing long term health outcomes and quality of life. Two remarkable factors that can impact recovery and rehabilitation are age and gender. Age can affect rehabilitation and recovery due to physiological changes, comorbidities, physical and cognitive reserve etc. and gender can affect health seeking behavior, treatment adherence, symptom reporting and pain tolerance. Also, women and men may experience different recovery approaches and rehabilitation outcome due to biological, physiological and social factors. The study utilizes mixed method design assessing patients across various age group and gender to identify differences in recovery time, rehabilitation progress and overall outcome. Data was collected through medical records, patient survey and rehabilitation assessment. The study investigates the effects of age and gender on recovery and rehabilitation in patients undergoing surgery or receiving medical treatment. By exploring these factors, we can identify opportunities to optimize patient care, improve outcome and reduce healthcare disparities. The study highlights the need for age and gender sensitive approaches in patientcare and rehabilitation strategies to optimize recovery and improve patient outcome.
