Brief Summary

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

The goal of this quasi-experimental clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of the "HAPPY GO GO" somatosensory game on physical and mental health in community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and above living in rural Chiayi County, Taiwan. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does participation in the somatosensory game improve physical health outcomes (e.g., balance, mobility, functional fitness)?
* Does participation improve mental health outcomes (e.g., mood, depressive symptoms)? Researchers will compare an intervention group, which participates in the game-based exercise program, with a control group that does not receive the intervention, to evaluate changes in health status.

Participants in the intervention group will take part in structured game-based physical activity sessions over several weeks, designed to promote engagement, improve physical performance, and support psychological well-being.

Study Groups

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

HAPPY GO GO Exergame

Participants in the intervention group will engage in the "HAPPY GO GO" somatosensory exergame program. The intervention consists of structured game-based physical activity sessions, conducted once per week for a total duration of 12 weeks. Each session includes interactive, movement-based tasks designed to promote physical health, and mental well-being among community-dwelling older adults.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

HAPPY GO GO Somatosensory Game

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in the intervention group will engage in the "HAPPY GO GO" somatosensory exergame program. The intervention consists of structured game-based physical activity sessions, conducted once per week for a total duration of 12 weeks. Each session includes interactive, movement-based tasks designed to promote physical health, and mental well-being among community-dwelling older adults.

Usual Daily Activities

Participants in the control group will not receive the game-based intervention. They will continue with their usual daily activities without structured exercise sessions. Health outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention for comparison with the experimental group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
