Experimental Group
EXPERIMENTALPatients with multiple chronic disease referred to Mobile Rehabilitation and Physical therapy team (MRPTT) and Nurse-led case Management in the province of Almeria that comply the inclusion criteria; as well as their caregivers.
Control Group
NO INTERVENTIONPatients with multiple chronic disease and their caregivers belonging to health centers or areas where there is no figure MRPTT or Nurse-led case Management to reach this population
Interventions
Procedure/Surgery: Home-based rehabilitation In the patient's home, the primarily applied treatment has been physical therapy, seeking to achieve the highest possible functionality and gait training. In more than 25% of cases, health education is conducted for families and caregivers. Thus, consistent with the patient's condition and their tolerance to activity and to exercise their self-care independently, rehabilitation interventions are activated that prevent sequelae derived from functional limitations.
