Living with Alzheimer's and Dementia
Neuro Physiotherapy in Alzheimer's and Dementia
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimer's and dementia. These progressive neurological disorders can significantly impact a person's physical abilities and cognitive function, leading to a decline in their overall well-being. However, integrating physiotherapy into their care plan can provide numerous benefits and support their journey.
​
Physiotherapy serves as an invaluable tool in supporting individuals living with Alzheimer's and dementia. By focusing on enhancing mobility, cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall independence, physiotherapy can make a significant positive impact on the lives of those navigating the challenges of these neurological conditions
Exercise and cognitive training
​
Physical activity has been shown to positively influence cognitive function and memory retention in those with Alzheimer's and dementia. Engaging in physiotherapy exercises stimulates the brain and promotes neuroplasticity, potentially slowing the progression of cognitive decline.
Balance training
​
The risk of falls is heightened in individuals with cognitive impairments. Physiotherapy can implement fall prevention strategies, including balance exercises and gait training, to minimize the likelihood of accidents
Virtual realty with games
​
Virtual reality (VR) aids Alzheimer's and dementia patients with immersive experiences that stimulate cognition, evoke memories, and boost emotional well-being. It offers safe spaces for physical activity and cognitive training, promising improved quality of life.
Fine motor training
​
Physiotherapy aids Alzheimer's and dementia patients by improving fine motor skills through exercises, sensory stimulation, and adaptive techniques. Regular practice and caregiver support further enhance their functional independence and overall well-being
