What is being tested?
The study tests if using a Life Story Questionnaire (LSQ) during physical therapy affects participation levels, depression symptoms, and quality of life in dementia patients. Participants will be split into two groups: one using LSQ and one without it during their regular physical therapy sessions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves non-medical tools like questionnaires rather than drugs or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not expected. However, emotional distress due to discussing personal history could potentially occur.
