Physically Disabled Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of an Advanced Virtual Exercise Environment Device (AVEED) for Use by Persons With Physical Disabilities
An Advanced Virtual Exercise Environment Device (AVEED) has been developed that incorporates arm and leg ergometers in conjunction with a virtual reality interface. The purpose of this study is to examine participant perspectives regarding the virtual interface and exercise device combination with regard to usability, comfort, safety, rating of perceived exertion, and enjoyment.
Individuals with physical disabilities show much lower rates of exercise participation than
their able-bodied peers (Boslaugh et al. 2006, Preventing Chronic Disease). Much of the
reason for the low rates of activity among this population come from the presence of
barriers. Lack of motivation, lack of transportation, lack of accessible facilities and
equipment, and cost are all factors that discourage exercise participation among those with
disabilities (Rimmer et al. 2008, JRRD; Barfield and Malone 2013, JRRD). Based on these
factors, there is a need for accessible enjoyable exercise options for people with physical
disabilities. The AVEED is comprised of an ergometer with foot and hand pedals, and a visual
display in front of the user that can show a variety of scenic pathways.
The AVEED builds on previous work that demonstrates the potential benefit of interactive
exercise for those with physical disabilities. The present study will establish the potential
of this device to provide an engaging moderate intensity exercise opportunity for persons
with disabilities.
