Background: Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia in the world and affects, mainly Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia in the world and mainly affects people over 60 years of age. According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that more than 30 million people around the world live with the disease, which is neither reversible nor cured. With the final progression of the disease, the carrier becomes dependent on the daily care of other people, being susceptible to the labeling of the team as immobility syndrome in the bed, which affects bedridden and unmoving individuals. Often, they are patients who still have undetected, neglected potentials, sufficient enough to alleviate the degree of dependence, requiring a specific physiotherapeutic look. Adequate treatment and care can provide greater survival and a better quality of life for people and relatives living with Alzheimer’s dementia patients. Results: The clinical concept of immobility is defined as the difficulty or inability to walk or change position (lying down to sit and sitting down). Immobility is inconsistent with human life. It is extremely important that the physician in charge assess and reassess the patient’s current health status through a complete diagnosis, at the risk of depriving him of benefits, sometimes through extremely simple procedures. In this way, we do not accept immobilization as a definite fact. Conclusions: The aim of this article is to discuss the importance of home rehabilitation and physiotherapy in Alzheimer’s disease at all stages of the disease, preventing the consequences of immobility. It is necessary that the whole multidisciplinary Health Team Act in order to encourage more and more early mobilization in bed. It is necessary to develop different studies and papers that show the deleterious effects of immobilization in order to create an increasing awareness of the importance of teamwork aiming at the early recovery of every patient bedridden as soon as possible.
