[The Frail Patient in a Fictitious Case Study].
Various limitations in everyday life can indicate a frailty syndrome. These limitations are not always directly visible and result from a wide variety of domains. Fried et al. described these limitations of different domains as frailty syndrome. ⋯ The aim is to specifically address the respective deficits and to develop an individual training concept together with the patient. Prehabilitation can significantly improve the risk of complications and the outcome of frail patients. In this context, it is important to establish routine screening in order to detect a frailty syndrome in everyday clinical practice and to create opportunities for prehabilitation.

[Prehabilitation for Preparing Older People with Frailty for Surgery].
Older people demonstrate a higher risk for the occurrence of peri- and postsurgical complications. A frequent risk factor for this is the prevalence of a status called "frailty". ⋯ In this article, we describe the concept of prehabilitation, its options to adapt and design this new form of intervention, as well as presenting current evidence. An actual project and a case example on prehabilitation provide an example and outlook.
