Successful rehabilitation of the growing number of elderly citizens can lead to preservation of functional independence and improvement in the quality of life. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of an individually tailored physical exercise training program combined with increased protein intake in order to improve measures on all three ICF levels (International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health). By conducting the study in a real-life clinical setting, research is translated into practice involving health professionals and the target group in the development of new knowledge on how to enhance the outcome of rehabilitation, thereby increasing the overall capacity of the elderly citizen, and decreasing the expenditure of health-services.
