Mild cognitive impairment
Older people living with dementia fall more frequently than those without cognitive impairments. A fall can have a profound effect on a person. How can we help to prevent falls in our older population?
Research has shown that a combination of education and exercise may be key in helping to prevent falls.
Join Elissa Burton, Senior Research Fellow, Curtin University as she talks about the important correlation between exercise and falls. Elissa will educate us as to how can we assist our older population to remain on their feet for longer.
