Why Some People With Dementia Lean to One Side

from Dementia Careblazers

Have you noticed your loved one with dementia leaning to one side when they sit or walk? This might look strange or even alarming, but there's often an explanation.  In today's podcast, I'm breaking down what's known as Pisa Syndrome, what it is, what causes it, and what you can do if you notice this happening in your loved one. We'll talk about how it can show up in both dementia and Parkinson's disease, how certain medications can sometimes play a role, and what steps to take with your loved one's doctor.
