SUMMARY:Supporting Independence: How Rehabilitation and Technology Can Help People Living with Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nThis webinar will focus on how rehabilitation and technology can help people living with dementia stay at home longer and live more independently. While rehabilitation is often thought of as something that restores or improves abilities\, it is just as important to maintain the abilities people already have. Keeping those skills can help individuals continue to do everyday tasks without needing extra support. We will also discuss how technology can assist people living with dementia in completing daily tasks\, staying safe\, and reducing the risk of falls. Topics will include the use of self-cueing\, exercises to improve balance\, and even video games that can help with rehabilitation. \nWe will also share information about two studies looking at how technology and games are being used to make rehabilitation more effective for people living with dementia. \nFor more information on the studies: \nClick links to learn more: \nTask Sequencing & Dementia Study \nBootle Blast (Exercise Video Game) & Dementia Study \nHave questions about these study listings? Email Victoria.Telford@camh.ca \nThis webinar is presented in partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nChristina Commisso\, MSc Candidate at Rehabilitation Sciences Institute\, Faculty of Medicine\, University of Toronto \nChristina Commisso is a first-year MSc candidate in the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute at University of Toronto and at the KITE Research Institute.
