Dementia is one of the most serious health and socioeconomic problems today. By knowing the genetic and familial burden of families and a comprehensive assessment of the senior, the general practitioner participates in the early diagnosis of the disease and mediation of the consultation of a competent specialist, as well as in the overall management of the disease in cooperation with members of the multidisciplinary team and the patient's family. The treatment of dementia is complex, in the article the authors make available selected physiotherapy activities used for people suffering from dementia. The latest research shows that physical activity is a promising intervention in the prevention and non-pharmacological treatment of dementia and significantly contributes to improving the quality of life of patients.

Keywords: dementia, physical activity, quality of life.
