Clinical Trial Summary

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, we 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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	One-leg standing test	The one-leg standing test was used to evaluate static postural balance. The one-leg standing test is a simple, reliable, and valid test for assessing balance and fall risk in older adults.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
Primary	Berg balance scale	To evaluate dynamic postural balance, the Berg balance scale was used. It has a perfect score of 56 and consists of 14 items, with a perfect score of 4 for each item.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
Primary	Functional reaching test	Functional reaching test was used to evaluate movement limits.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
Primary	Timed up-and-go test	Timed up-and-go test was used to assess functional movement and mobility.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
Primary	Five-times sit-to-stand test	Five-times sit-to-stand test was used to evaluate lower-extremity muscle strength.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
Secondary	Falls Efficacy	The modified falls efficacy scale, which was developed for older adults specifically, was used to evaluate the fall efficacy.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
Secondary	Depression	Depression was measured using the geriatric depression scale.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
Secondary	Health-Related Quality of Life	The 36-item short-form health survey was used to measure health-related quality of life.	Change from baseline after intervention at 8 weeks
