Karl Sawatzky is pictured here taking part in adaptive gaming therapy with therapists at the Foothills Medical Centre. The Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary has become one of the few hospitals in Canada to offer an adaptive gaming system for patient therapy.
Sawatzky says he enjoyed recreational gaming before his diagnosis and appreciates the integration of it into his therapy. After about two months, he has seen his mobility improve."I've gone from not being able to really sit on my own to now starting to actually walk using a walker." "We'll work with the centre to either get them a grant to purchase all this gaming gear, or if we have grant funding over time we'll give it to them and then I do all of the training," said Tyler Fentie, accessible gaming lead with Makers Making Change.
