Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a home-based exergame program on physical function, fall efficacy, depression, and quality of life in older adults. For the purpose of the study, the investigators established the following hypotheses. Older adults who participate in a home-based exergame program will experience significant improvements in physical function, fall efficacy, depression, and quality of life compared to those who do not participate in the program.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

Participants in the experimental group engaged in a home-based exergame program for 50 minutes per session, three times per week, for eight weeks. The program focused on enhancing lower extremity strength and balance.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home-based exergame program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The home-based exergame program was conducted using the Nintendo Switch and Ring Fit Adventure program at participants' homes. The program included a 10-minute warm-up, 30 minutes of main exercise, and a 10-minute cool-down, lasting a total of 50 minutes per session. Sessions were held three times per week for eight weeks. The exercises targeted lower extremity strength, balance, and flexibility and included yoga, leg exercises (e.g., squats, knee lifts), and other activities performed in a gamified virtual environment. Participants received guidance on using the console, and family members were involved to support proper execution of the exercises.

Control group

The control group participated in weekly online education sessions for 50 minutes over an eight-week period. The topics covered included fall prevention, musculoskeletal health, aging, and fracture risks. No physical exercise intervention was given.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Online education on fall prevention and musculoskeletal health management

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The online education intervention consisted of weekly sessions conducted for 50 minutes over an eight-week period, focusing on fall prevention and musculoskeletal health management. Participants joined the sessions via a video-conference platform. The content covered education on aging, musculoskeletal disorders, fall prevention strategies, and understanding falls and fractures. These sessions aimed to enhance participants' awareness and knowledge, thereby helping them adopt preventive behaviors.
