Abstract
Wandering is a common behavior that occurs in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)—the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that over half of all those with the disease will wander at one time or another and if the wanderer is not found within 24 h, up to half of individuals who wander will suffer serious injury or death. Wandering results from brain damage in the areas of the parietal lobe as well as the hippocampus. Wandering involves the need to “keep on the move”.
