The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of healthcare providers on the adoption and utilization of rehabilitation among individuals with AD\/ADRD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We adopted an exploratory qualitative descriptive study design using semi-structured interviews. Using purposive sampling, ten healthcare providers that provide rehabilitation services for individuals with AD\/ADRD were recruited from the Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Research Center (ADRC), University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Pepper Center.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants emphasized the substantial potential benefits of rehabilitation for this population. Interview data indicated that several participants viewed rehabilitation services as significantly enhancing the quality of life and wellbeing of individuals with AD\/ADRD. Feedback underscored the important role of rehabilitation in optimizing care for individuals with AD\/ADRD and highlighted key barriers to its broader implementation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, the findings suggest that rehabilitation offers meaningful value in the management of AD\/ADRD. Although participants identified several barriers, rehabilitation services were consistently viewed as beneficial for individuals with AD\/ADRD. Addressing these gaps will be important for strengthening the effectiveness and reach of rehabilitation services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/21501319261461254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T06:51:09Z","timestamp":1781506269000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Role of Rehabilitation in the Management of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and Related Dementias: Healthcare Provider Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Cynthia A.","family":"Putri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh"},{"name":"Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Faieta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3329-6296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ikenna D.","family":"Ebuenyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh"},{"name":"University of Pittsburgh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","first-page":"249","volume-title":"Future directions for the demography of aging: Proceedings of a workshop","author":"Langa KM","year":"2018","unstructured":"Langa KM, Cognitive aging, dementia, and the future of an aging population.
