  • Hey Sarah! I think your population summary is excellent. I love the format of the post as it definitely helps me read it and be able to comprehend the information. The only thing two things that I would recommend changing are going into more detail about the physical strengths and maybe go into more detail of the Cognitive Impairment Scale in case someone doesn’t know what it is. Overall, you did a great job and keep up the good work!
