BASKETBALL is a rollator that refers to a past hobby, but also allows interaction in the park.
Do you score yourself or do others still hit the basket?
This also draws on experiences from reminiscence therapy, which deals with memories from personal biographies.
This is supplemented by visual, haptic, auditory and olfactory design and in relation to body memories, which still require a great deal of research in dementia research.
