‘There is now good evidence for the role of physiotherapy interventions in improving mobility, slowing cognitive decline, supporting psychological function and reducing falls (Lam et al 2018, Law et al 2020, Mak et al 2022).’ #Dementia 💙
Today marks the beginning of Dementia Action Week. There is a growing need for increased awareness of dementia among physiotherapists and targeted clinical education. Head to this month's InMotion to learn more.
