Yesterday's Meeting (Contd.)

MOTOR DISABILITIES:
In contrast to the cognitive disabilities highlighted in the previous post, motor disabilities are another form we could focus on. Herein comes, visual impairments, hearing impairments etc. This could also affect the aging population too, but isn't considered exclusive to them. Motor disability may result from:
  • invalidating diseases (polio, turbecolosis, etc.)
  • accidents (war injuries, road accidents, etc.)
  • complications during birth (cerebral palsy, etc.)
  • genetic/congenital problems.

But since our target users are the aging population, we have to approach solutions to this with regards to them.

So, once more, cognitive or motor?
