This study evaluates the feasibility of a larger randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of reminiscence aided physical activity on the balance and mobility of older adults living in long term care. The study uses the jDome BikeAround system, which is a stationary bicycle with a projector screen that runs google earth, as the user bicycles, the map progresses giving the appearance that the user is bicycling through the environment chosen. Half of the participants will use the system during the first 6 week campaign, there will then be a 6 week washout period. Following the washout period, there will be a second 6 week campaign when the other half of the participants will use the jDome BikeAround system.

Inclusion Criteria: - Scott fall risk of 2-17 (this is the current range used by the Glebe Centre, there have been 0 falls during transportation to the equipment and during each session of the BikeAround system) - Sufficient visual abilities to observe images on the domed screen - Able to comprehend and communicate in English. - Adequate attentional capacity to remain focused on the pedalling task. - Minimum height requirement of 5'2" or 157cm in order to successfully fit the BikeAround system's stationary bike. Exclusion Criteria: - Physical limitations (as determined by the Glebe Centre healthcare/physiotherapy team) that prevent use of the jDome bike. - Cognitive impairment (as determined by the Glebe Centre healthcare/physiotherapy team) Inability to sustain attention Inability to follow one-step commands. - Known behavioural abnormalities (e.g. overly aggressive behavior) that in the opinion of the clinical care team might impede any meaningful participation in the project - Those who are in the opinion of attending physician or clinical team too unwell to participate in the project - Fully unable to complete outcome measures indicated (Section 7, Outcomes) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Number of Participants Recruited | Determine the feasibility of a future randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact on balance and mobility of motivating reminiscence technology using the jDome BikeAround system for adults in long term care. Feasibility will be determined by the ability to recruit 30 residents (based on the LTC population base at The Glebe Centre). | Baseline | |
| Primary | Protocol Adherence | Determine the feasibility of a future randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact on balance and mobility of motivating reminiscence technology using the jDome BikeAround system for adults in long term care. Feasibility will be determined by the number of residents to complied with the protocol during their respective campaign by using the jDome BikeAround system 3 times a week. | Week 18 | |
| Primary | Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Events While Using the jDome BikeAround (System) | The number of adverse events while directly interacting with the jDome BikeAround system will be tracked to help determine feasibility of this kind of randomized trial. | Week 18 | |
| Primary | Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment | The Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment Tool is a simple, easily administered test that measures a resident's gait and balance. The test is scored on the resident's ability to perform specific tasks as either 0, 1 or 2 where a score of 0 represents the most impaired while a score of 2 represents independence. The total is calculated by adding the score for each individual activity, the lowest possible score is 0 and the highest possible score is 28. The higher the score the better the more mobile the participant is. This will give us a baseline value for the participants. | Baseline | |
