Abstract
Objective: A multifaceted rehabilitation approach (MRA) in the treatment of Alzheimer芒�?�?s dementia (AD) patients is aimed at achieving optimum levels of physical, psychological and behavioral functioning in the presence of neurodegenerative processes, aging, and the progression of chronic medical illnesses. We hypothesize that the simultaneous implementation of multiple therapeutic modalities could delay the progression of dementia in mild and moderate stages including chronometric changes. Here we describe an individual with multiple medical problems with dementia depression successfully treated with a MRA. Methods: Case Report. Results: The MRA consisted of standard pharmacotherapy, physical and mental exercises, and other interventions. It was initiated in the office and maintained in the patient芒�?�?s home indefinitely, as would any other program for chronic disease. Finger taping speed, simple, and complex (go/no go) reaction time was used as a proxy for brain speed. The patient is a 80 y.o. male, engineer, with a long history of memory loss, and depression, on memantine and venlafaxine . He has hypertension, cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia. At age 80, his finger taping speed, simple and complex reaction time were 202 �?卤 12 ms, 239 �?卤72 ms and 431�?卤 100 ms, respectively. After 60 months of the treatment his finger typing speed, simple and complex reaction time were 186�?卤14ms, 302�?卤110 ms and 490�?卤102 ms, respectively. Traditional cognitive testing results (MMSE) remained stable through this time period Conclusion: An MRA can been an effective intervention strategy to prevent decrease of brain speed in the setting of dementia and depression.Biography
