First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether playing motion-based games like Wii or the Magic Table can help older adults with mild-to-moderate dementia feel more engaged and positive. Twenty participants from a community adult day care will either play these games or do their usual activities for 10 weekly sessions. The goal is to see if the games lead to better mood, behavior, and quality of life. Risks are minimal, and participants can stop anytime.
