Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of a newly designed and developed user-centered exergame in older adults with major neurocognitive disorder (dementia).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of a newly designed and developed user-centered exergame in older adults with major neurocognitive disorder (dementia). On one appointment, the participants will perform a user-centered exergame for about 30 minutes. The exergame will include specific cognitive and motor functions. As the difficulty of the training game is user-centered, the participants will always be challenged on an appropriate level. Stepping exercises will be used to control the video game scenario. The video game scenario will include different cognitive functions. The body movements will include different physical aspects including balance, strength and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT). During the exergame performance, different qualitative assessments will be performed to determine usability of the exergame including acceptance and game experience protocol (think aloud method). After the exergame performance, the participant will answer individual and guideline-based interview questions about usability including their individual experiences (duration about 20 min). This study contributes to fundamental research investigating how user-centered exergame training can be applied in older adults with individual needs.
