| Research Abstract |
We studied with an active tracer how different walking environments (places and who you walk with) have an effect on the behavior and mental wellbeing of elderly people with dementia in group homes. The results of this study showed different reactions of heart rate response in people with dementia from different walking environments, therefore it is important to think about the walking environment adjusted to each person regarding their condition or characteristics.
