Critically evaluate the biopsychosocial components when affected with Alzheimers, required for occupational performance when buying a book from a book store
Chosen Alzheimers as my condition, need to evaluate normatively first the biological components; nervous system, discuss how brain functions normatively ie neurons, processing information, brain etc. Discuss gait and walking normatively, then critique and evaluate types of memory. Evaluate and critique communication and language;

Backup evidence with study and critiquing the methodology or the demographics or the results to meet level 7 critical analysis, aswell as qulatitive study etc.
You then need to bring in Alzheimers aetiology. Bring in disorder and state what it is, how it occurs, death of neurons, synapses etc? proteins, molecules, genes etc. Nervous system affected by AD; how motor functions with AD affect walking (gait) and balance, how this affects occupational performance.
I will also attach a template of how to structure the assignement so refer
Also i have attached the marking rubric for level 7 writing. I have attached the activity analysis form so you can get a clear idea of why we have to refer o it when talking about alzheimers, basically how does having alzheimers affect buying a book from a book store. For instance, memory and gait affects buying a book as well as commuinciation and language, but this s for the second part after you bring in aetiology of alzheimers, what it does, critique studie son alzheimers, as well as alzheimers and different memory types and alzheimers and communication/language.
Read the template word doc for essay it will be a lot clearer – make sure to include critical appraisal or critical analysis- must evaluate limitations of research and strengths. always evaluate strengths and weaknesses of a study and voice in your own opinion why and back up with further reasearch.
