One was a balance study about how seniors maintain (or lose) balance and what strategies can be used to help them. Another was on spatial orientation – the participant donned a special visor and “walked” in a virtual environment. I also participated in the Harmony study which uses MBSR to reduce hypertension. Information about these I found posted on the Sunnybrok’s bulletin boards or was refered to then by my GP at the hospital. I find this activity to be extremely rewarding – helping to find new answers to aging problems. I would encourage anyone who can spare the time to particpate.
