TL;DR
Performance-based day-to-day video task assessment appears feasible and acceptable, potentially improving access to care and improving access to care in Persons Living with Dementia and caregivers.
Abstract
While performance-based functional assessment is the gold standard, little is known about conducting such assessments remotely, especially with at-risk patients. This pilot study examined the feasibility and acceptability of in-home video to deliver tasks from the Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills battery, including Oral Hygiene and Bathtub and Shower Mobility, to Persons Living with Dementia (PLWD) and caregivers. Ten PLWD-caregiver dyads enrolled, with one discontinuing prior to assessment due to unrelated illness. Feasibility and acceptability outcomes were gathered through satisfaction questionnaires and visit field notes. PLWD averaged 78.9 years (all male, White) with 7.2 health conditions; caregivers were all female, mostly spouses, averaging 69.9 years. Sessions lasted 19 to 40 min, with 22% of time spent on technology setup. Challenges included connectivity, hearing, and safety risks during transfers. Overall satisfaction was high. Performance-based day-to-day video task assessment appears feasible and acceptable, potentially improving access to care.
Dementia caregivers often report poor mental health, which has implications for the quality of care, as well as care recipient well-being. Thus, it is imperative to identify modifiable factors that influence caregiver mental health and can be targeted through personalized interventions.

Introduction Population ageing has increased the prevalence of dementia, often accompanied by mobility impairments. It is essential to develop effective interventions and promote adherence among people with dementia. Culturally meaningful activities may enhance motivation, engagement, and rehabilitation outcomes.

Caregivers of people living with dementia (PLwD) experience substantial psychosocial burden, compounded by limited access to formal respite due to financial, geographic, and systemic barriers. Immersive virtual reality (VR) shows promise for alleviating behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia while supportin...

Background Maintaining physical function is central to healthy ageing and is emphasised in health policy aimed at shifting care from treatment to prevention. However, accessible tools that support routine monitoring of functional fitness remain limited despite evidence demonstrating links to adverse health outcomes. A...

PURPOSE
Caregiver-delivered interventions that support mobility may provide an opportunity for high-dosage practice and promote overall development for infants and toddlers with Down syndrome (DS). This single-arm feasibility study examined the implementation and acceptability of a home-based open-area partial body-wei...

PURPOSE
Stroke-related visual impairment (SRVI) is common but often under-recognised and inconsistently supported. While clinical features and acute rehabilitation are documented, less is known about how people live with SRVI over time or whether services meet changing needs. This study examined: (1) the daily impact o...
