Balance or movement confidence: exergame targets for people living with dementia

Balance and movement confidence diverged in this population, whereby participants performed better (e.g., smoother fluency of movements) in situations where their confidence was higher (i.e., exergaming). The two observational movement confidence measures appear feasible for assessing movement confidence of people living with dementia, when self-report tools are not suitable [5]. The findings suggest that movement confidence plus more ecological approaches to measuring balance, for example whilst playing exergames, could be developed to assess interventions targeting fall risk in people living with dementia.
