The Link Between Walking Ability and Memory

When a healthy person begins to walk more slowly than before, that change can signal the very beginning of memory impairment. Find out how the two are tied, and how walking speed is a new vital sign about overall health, during this free workshop at The Ivey. Presented by Laura deMilt, PT, Genesis Rehab Services. You’ll see a demo of how walking speed is assessed, and learn how exercise and physical therapy can improve our ability to think. Choose from two times: 2-3:30 pm or 6 – 7:30 pm. Come at the time most convenient for you. Pre-registration requested at 704-909-2070 or info@theivey.com. Seating is limited. For caregivers, free care is available for loved ones during the workshop with advance notice. This community education program is designed to enhance memory wellness knowledge.
