About Jame’s session: Neuro physiotherapists support and teach people how to maximise their recovery and or potential. They use the knowledge of neuroscience and brain plasticity to improve mobility, help people to learn new skills and to transition in their lives as much as possible, to engage in what is important to them – their personal goals and individual expectations. They support improving mobility that enables you to be independent and safe, without falling over and causing injury, and to have the confidence to continue to remain active. He says:
“Dementia has previously not been prescribed rehabilitation – which we need to reverse. Only 17 years ago, there were only 5 papers on rehab for MS whereas now there are about three new papers per day – this needs to happen for dementia. Improving and maintaining function is possible, and evidence is much clearer in supporting this including for people with dementia, not just other neurological disorders.”
James will discuss the value of rehabilitation for people with dementia, allowing a lot of time for questions!
* Please note the question time is not part of our video recording of the event uploaded to our YouTube channel following the event, so you will need to register to ask questions or listen to others and Jame’s responses .
