Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Falls prevention is critical for older adults, with significant healthcare costs.
  • Telerehabilitation technologies like exergaming offer engaging exercise solutions.
  • Sheltered housing settings present unique challenges for implementing new interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of exergaming for falls prevention in sheltered housing.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a supervised exergaming program compared to usual care.

Main Methods:

  • A 6-week mixed-methods study in two sheltered housing facilities.
  • Intervention group received supervised exergaming (MIRA); control group received usual care.
  • Feasibility, usability (System Usability Scale), and acceptability were measured via quantitative and qualitative data.

Main Results:

  • Exergaming significantly increased weekly exercise duration in the intervention group.
  • High adherence rates (92% completion) and positive participant feedback on enjoyment and motivation.
  • Moderate usability scores (SUS=63) indicated a need for technical support for independent use.

Conclusions:

  • Exergaming is a feasible and well-received intervention for falls prevention in sheltered housing.
  • Motivational and social benefits were highlighted, complementing traditional care.
  • Further research should address technical support needs for wider adoption.
