Our study is the first to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of DP in older adults in rehabilitation. Frequency of DP makes it relevant for the geriatrician and should be described more to prevent potential severe complications. A multicentric study, with inpatients and outpatients, could evaluate the prevalence of DP in a more representative older adult population.
