Abstract

Intellectual disability affects 1 to 3% of the population, with a_higher percentage among residents of developing countries. Due to the possible occurrence of movement limitations in individuals with intellectual disabilities, physiotherapy can be an invaluable element of patient support for better functioning. However, understanding the key issues in working with patients from this group is necessary. This article is dedicated to introducing the topic of intellectual disability and the issues that physiotherapists should pay attention to when providing health services.
