Reply from Tang Hejie, Department of Rehabilitation, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University: Communicate more with the elderly, look at old photos, listen to his favorite music, watch more TV programs and talk more. Promote memory and thinking function to reduce or delay dementia. It is only when the mind is awake that guided active training can be conducted, which will more effectively promote the rehabilitation of physical functions.
