Functional Capacity Reclaiming

Meaning

Functional capacity reclaiming is a comprehensive clinical objective focused on restoring and enhancing an individual’s physiological reserve and physical ability to perform daily activities, thereby improving independence and quality of life. This goal addresses age-related declines in muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cognitive function, which collectively define an individual’s overall capacity to interact with their environment. Reclaiming this capacity is a core tenet of proactive longevity and rehabilitation medicine.
