Clinical Trial Summary

Assessment of the effect of a 12 weeks serious game based exercises program on physical performance in older adults living in nursing homes, in comparison with a control group that benefits from a classical exercise training program including balance, muscle strengthening and walking exercises with the same duration.


Clinical Trial Description

Recent reviews of the literature have shown that exergames may have interest in balance rehabilitation, physical performance maintenance, and fall prevention in community dwelling older adults with neurodegenerative disease or at risk of fall. These reviews also show however that classical exergames are not adapted for rehabilitation of patients with functional limitations, which could explain their relatively moderate benefits in those patients.

To overcome this lack, a serious game has been co-developed with medical to be adapted to the specific needs and characteristics of nursing home residents In this study , we propose to compare the effects on physical performance, falls incidence, and quality of life of a 12-weeks serious game based exercise program and a classical exercices program ;
