A Short Summary about Physical Therapy
written by Ian Park DEC 18, 2023
Throughout the past year, I’ve been volunteering at a nursing home, and through this experience I’ve seen the physical state of the elderly in my community. Another main detail I noticed in the elderly is their worsening mental state. From these two main details, I wondered how I could help elderly keep a healthy body. This paper is my effort to go through the correlation of a person’s physical and mental state and spread a call to action.
Dementia, Sensory Degeneration, and “Lonely Deaths”
written by Deanna Bae SEP 09, 2023
Dementia is categorized as a neurodegenerative disease in which beta-amyloid plaques build up between synapses in brain cells, causing significant brain shrinkage as well as long-term memory loss. Severe memory loss tends to begin with forgetfulness at first, which then escalates into the common symptoms seen in dementia patients, such as general confusion, problems with communication, and an inability to solve logical problems. Other things involving neurological function will also begin to fail, such as sense of taste, touch, or hearing.
