One lovely lady we worked with was in her eighties and non-ambulant following a femur fracture. Prior to her fracture she was very fit and had stayed active, but after a fall, her dementia progressed and her mobility was negatively affected.
We developed a plan to get her actively walking again. We first used a gutter frame and then moved to a four-wheel walker. As the sessions continued, the patient progressed. After nearly a year, she was happily doing laps of her garden and walking down the street with a carer or friend.
We prescribed exercises for her to continue with carers and family, so that she was empowered with her own physical therapy. Her progression was very impressive and her family was very appreciative of our support.
