Lauren did her case study on Dr. Remy Hadley from the TV show House. Huntington's disease is a genetic disease. Her mother and brother both had Huntington's disease, which her mother died from. She is a doctor, who was actually tested against her will. She likes working, gardening, and exercising. Dr. Hadley said that her main challenges are feeding herself, drinking without spilling her drink, typing out her documentation and coordination. Some of the adaptive equipment that Lauren suggested she use was weighted utensils, cups with lids and straws, and possibly an iPad with a speaking tool to help with documentation at work. Lauren also mentioned that moderate exercise would be useful as long as it did not cause further fatigue.
