Project: Early signs of mobility limitations and fall events in old age: long-term consequences and tailored preventive interventions through interactive media
- 2012
-
Other publication (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- The aims of this project are 1) to investigate the consequences over five years of early signs of mobility limitations expressed as fallevents, a changed walking pattern with a cognitive load (dual-task costs), and decreased balance confidence on severe fall-relatedinjuries, perceived health, participation, activities of daily living, and gait performance, and 2) to develop, together with older people,and evaluate tailored fall-prevention through interactive media in a randomized controlled trial with two arms.

Towards a mobile exercise application to prevent falls : A participatory design process
- 2016
-
In: International Journal of Child Health and Human Development. - 1939-5965. ; 9:3, s. 389-398
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this cross-disciplinary project senior citizens and researchers participated in the collaborative design and development of a mobile exercise application to prevent falls. The methods Form-IT and Participator) and Appreciative Action and Reflection (PAAR) were applied in a series of workshops, facilitating the creation of new knowledge and a socio-technical platform for an end-user development process. The participation of the older people was key to understanding the broad range of preferences and motivational aspects. The outcomes emerged into prototypes, which were composed using the ACKTUS platform for end-user development, resulting in a dynamic application, easily adaptable to future needs and studies.

Towards a Mobile Exercise Application to Prevent Falls : a Participatory Design Process
- 2015

In: Technology, Rehabilitation and Empowerment of People with Special Needs. - : Nova Science Publishers, Inc.. - 9781634827133 ; , s. 157-168

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The digitalization of society is spreading around the world and technology has become part of many people’s daily lives. It acts as a means of communication, work, education and leisure. For populations with special needs (people with some kind of disability or disorder) technology can play an essential role in their rehabilitation and treatment. It also empowers the individuals themselves. The aim of this multi-disciplinary research for decades has been to explore, develop and evaluate innovative technology to aid people with disabilities through virtual reality and associated machinery. The field engages researchers from health sectors, areas of engineering and schools of education to collaborate in order to take on a holistic approach to meet these challenges.
