“…A summary of the results is shown in the Tables 2 and 3. According to data [32,33], as age increases, the use of the technology decreases, which the study also showed, as none of the patients over the age of 60 had any previous exposure to virtual reality. Therefore, it becomes a justifiable question whether patients were convinced to try VR technology in rehabilitation.…”

“…This confirms the supposition that older patients are more skeptical about the study. This is due to the fact that many of them do not have everyday contact with technology such as smartphones/tablets/laptops [32,33]. However, once this barrier is broken and the app is used for the first time, this problem does not occur.…”

“…Moreover, 78.2% of people in this age group use a cell phone, with the majority being a key telephone. Even fewer, only 13.8% of people over 65, use a laptop computer [32]. Internet is used regularly by 33.3% of people over 65 years of age [33].…”

Thanks to medical advances, life expectancy is increasing. With it comes an increased incidence of diseases, of which age is a risk factor. Stroke is among these diseases, and is one of the causes of long-term disability. The opportunity to treat these patients is via rehabilitation. A promising new technology that can enhance rehabilitation is virtual reality (VR). However, this technology is not widely used by elderly patients, and, moreover, the elderly often do not use modern technology at all. It therefore becomes a legitimate question whether elderly people will be able to use virtual reality in rehabilitation. This article presents a rehabilitation application dedicated to patients with upper limb paresis and unilateral spatial neglect (USN). The application was tested on a group of 60 individuals including 30 post-stroke patients with an average age of 72.83 years. The results of the conducted study include a self-assessment by the patients, the physiotherapist’s evaluation, as well as the patients’ performance of the exercise in VR. The study showed that elderly post-stroke patients are able to use virtual reality applications, but the ability to correctly and fully perform an exercise in VR depends on several factors. One of them is the ability to make logical contact (p = 0.0001 < 0.05). However, the study presented here shows that the ability to use VR applications does not depend on age but on mental and physical condition, which gives hope that virtual reality applications can be used in post-stroke rehabilitation among patients of all ages.

The article discusses the portrayal of the elderly in social campaigns, specifically in the campaign of the Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs. As most of the existing studies have focused on advertising, there is a research gap concerning the representation of the elderly in social campaigns that the present paper aims to fill. Combining insights based on critical discourse analysis and social semiotics, the study is grounded in multimodal discourse analysis, which allows one to perform a thorough investigation of various modes to determine how they form a coherent meaning. Overall, the portrayal of the elderly person was positive as they were shown as active and independent users of the Internet, which differs from the traditional representation of such people. Encouraging the audience to emulate the actions and behaviour of the protagonist appears to be a good solution regarding middle- and upper-class senior citizens as they have both social and financial capital to act like Barbara Bursztynowicz, who appears in the campaign. However, this might not be as effective regarding people who are digitally excluded. The discussed campaign successfully challenges stereotypical views on old age (i.e. senior citizens not being able to use modern technologies, or being dependent on younger family members), offering a different and positive perspective by emphasizing the agency of senior citizens.
