BACKGROUND: Exercise can impact balance, movement confidence, and cognition among people with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, engaging and accessible ways for this population to exercise are lacking. Motion-based technology, which people with dementia and MCI can learn to use and enjoy using, could be a potential solution. The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a group motion-based technology intervention on balance, movement confidence, and cognition among people with dementia and MCI...

BACKGROUND: Movement confidence is defined as "a person's feeling or sense of adequacy in a movement situation." It is proposed that those who are 'movement confident' are more likely to partake in movement situations (e.g., exercise) and enjoy doing so. However, the concept and measurement of movement confidence has not been explored among people with dementia and MCI, who can benefit from participating in activities involving physical movement, such as exercise. METHOD: Participants with dementia and MCI (n=28; 53...

Introduction: Several interventions have been developed to enhance social connectedness among older adults. However, little research has demonstrated their performance in a social distancing environment. Exergames are not only beneficial to older adults' physical and cognitive health, but they also allow players to interact with each other at a distance, which can reduce loneliness and increase social connection. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate older adults' perceptions of two commercially available exergames...
