Background: Aging presents both challenges and opportunities. It will increase demand for health care to restore function or enhance residual functional capability and improving the quality of life in older people. The objective of the present investigation was to offer perspectives into the worldwide research production concerning the geriatric rehabilitation. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted utilizing the Scopus database covering the period of 1948 through 2022. Several methods and instruments were employed to scrutinize and illustrate the data. Results: The search strategy found 6630 articles. The United States was the most active country with the highest number of coauthors. VA Medical Center was the most active organization with Becker the most active author in Geriatric Rehabilitation research with 40 articles from Germany, followed by Hauer and Trabucchi with 39 and 37 articles, respectively. The most frequent words in this field were "rehabilitation, elderly, geriatrics, stroke, hip fracture, aged, dementia and activities of daily living." The most influential articles were specified. In terms of journals, BMC Geriatrics was the most active, while the most cited article was "Gait Variability and Fall Risk in Community-Living Older Adults: A 1-Year Prospective Study" by Hausdorff in 2001. Conclusions: Geriatric rehabilitation has received special attention in the last decade. Current studies highlight the importance and understanding of the unique needs of older adults. The core for this area that includes impairment related to physical, cognitive, and functional needs is considered. Hence, health care practitioners and scholars must prioritize geriatric rehabilitation as a specialty and comprehend the optimal strategy for supporting elderly individuals to maintain their independence as much as feasible. © 2024 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
