Exergaming on Dividat Senso
The active dance video game is played with the Dividat Senso (Dividat \| Senso: cognitive-motor training). It consists of a dance disc with four arrows (up, down, left, right), and the game is played on a large screen (which is connected to the PC). The screen indicates which arrow the person should step on, thus controlling the game through body movements. The games give the person feedback in the form of auditory, visual, and somatosensory stimuli.
Usual Care
Standardised care with meal service, individual activities (e.g. hiking group, walking group, exercise group, handicrafts, gardening group, singing, painting or lunch) and customized care and support as required.
