Geriatric therapy
Cognitive rehabilitation is vital for elderly patients for multiple reasons. The ageing process frequently affects brain activity, which may lead to deterioration in cognitive functions such as memory, focus, abstract thinking, spatial perception, planning and problem-solving. This, in turn, may affect the quality of life and independence of elderly individuals.
Cognitive rehabilitation may aid in improving these functions, which may lead to improved ability to live independently and have a positive impact on the quality of life and self-esteem. Our brain loses the ability to reorganise and adapt to changes as we age, but cognitive training may help stimulate the brain and improve its flexibility.
