Objectives

To become acquainted with the principal homecare physiotherapy services that are offered within the Public Health System for dependent elderly patients in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal).

Methods

A thorough and up-dated review of the literature regarding previous studies, research stays in Hospitals, Primary Health Care Centers and Public Health institutions in both countries financed by the Public Health Administration; in-depth interviews with specific informants.

Results

The situation of homecare physiotherapy in Spain from the year 1987 to the August 2008 is described. In Portugal, these services are established within the services regulated by Primary Health Care (Decree-Law no. 28/2008, of February 22).

Conclusions

There are few studies in the Iberian Peninsula that offer scientific evidence based information on the effectiveness of these physiotherapy services, user satisfaction and the effect they have in relation to other treatments. However, these studies are needed in order to evaluate the current health legislations, appropriate distribution of resources, to review the clinical programs, clinical action methodologies, etc.
