The United Nations International Day of Older Persons will take place on October 1 and in Quebec will be added the third Cognitive Health Day for Seniors focused on the prevention of falls among the elderly, on October 13.
You should know that 62% of people admitted to a hospital center in Quebec following a craniocerebral trauma are aged 65 and over. Cranio-cerebral trauma can have serious consequences in this population: the prognosis is more unfavorable cognitively, hospitalization is generally longer and the risk of mortality is increased.
Faced with this shocking reality, neuropsychologists are taking action and mobilizing by going directly to meet Quebecers through free teleconsultations. Several tips and practical advice will be shared during the meeting on October 13 to limit this type of unfortunate event and keep you healthy. You can even speak directly with a neuropsychologist by making an appointment for a free consultation at aqnp.ca.
MonTémiscouata.com took the lead by conducting an interview with Dr. Élaine de Guise, a neuropsychologist for over 25 years and associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Montreal. Dr. de Guise is interested in developing assessment and intervention tools for people who have suffered a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
