New Technological Innovations to Improve Balance against Falling in Older Adults: Exergaming, Virtual Reality and Augmented Realty
Abstract Older adults fall and live with the fear of falling. Until recently vitamin D to strengthen bones, Tai Chi and other slow deliberate exercises have been prescribed. Recent studies introducing these adults to newer technological innovations such as the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft HoloLens and Oculus from Meta show enjoyment of using the equipment, improvement with balance, reduced fear of falling and stronger feelings of independence. This column reports the troubling statistics of older adults falling, introduces technological innovations and highlights studies using these tools.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
