Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease – Similarities & Differences

Physical Symptoms

Dementia can also be followed by several physical signs. For instance, people with this condition would have limited movements on one side of their body. This indicates that both the physical and cognitive functions are heavily impaired due to the trigger. In Alzheimer’s disease, mental capabilities like judgment or memory will decline first and then be accompanied by physical problems in the middle stages. Some common troubles include deteriorated walking or loss of balance. [5.1] [5.2]
