The Use of a Simulated Environment (Easy Street) to Retrain Independent Living Skills in Elderly Persons

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Older adults who receive training for functional skills in contextually appropriate environments may show greater functional improvement than persons trained in a traditional environment. Functionally limited older adults receiving training in contextually appropriate environments (simulated home and community settings) may show greater improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) than persons trained in a traditional manner.
