Pronation, where the foot leans inward, and high insteps have caused me to seek help for my feet from a podiatrist. And, it is not just foot or ankle pain, my knees really bother me if I do not wear my orthotics. We have 26 bones in each of our feet. Let's treat them kindly. |
This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
