Mobility Support for Dementia Patients

Dementia can affect coordination, balance, and the ability to follow movement instructions, increasing the risk of falls and reduced mobility. Physiotherapy uses simple, repetitive, and guided exercises to help maintain safe movement and independence for as long as possible.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Do use simple, one-step instructions during exercises
  • Do maintain a consistent daily routine for movement and walks
  • Do ensure the home environment is free of trip hazards
  • Do involve caregivers in guided practice sessions

Don'ts

  • Don't give complex or multiple instructions at once
  • Don't leave the person unsupervised in unfamiliar or cluttered spaces
  • Don't rush movements or transitions between positions
  • Don't ignore sudden changes in walking ability or balance

When to see a physiotherapist: Consult a doctor or physiotherapist if mobility declines suddenly, falls become frequent, or the person resists all movement and becomes withdrawn.
