About the Event
With increase in aging population, physiotherapists will need to use technology to be close to clients without being physically there. Also, technology can be used to provide stimulating and interesting environment to engage elderly in physical and mental exercises. Virtual reality and mixed reality are such tools which are already being used, but there will be more applications available in the years to come. These technologies are not very expensive, at the same time, easy to use and understand. In this session, the speaker will introduce the technologies which are useful in elderly rehabilitation.
