Summary

Study, titled Effects of Kinect-Based Exergaming versus Wii Fit on Balance and Fall Risk among Healthy Older Adults, is a randomized controlled trial comparing the balance training effects of Xbox Kinect and Wii Fit.

After obtaining informed consent, 46 healthy older adults will be randomly allocated (1:1) using sealed envelopes to a 6-week training program in either group. Static, Dynamic, and Anticipatory balance will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention using the Biodex Balance System for objective comparison.

Conditions

  • Balance
  • Fall Risk

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Virtual Reality Balance Training

The total duration of the intervention protocol is 6 weeks. However, progression depends on the participant's comfort, performance, and adaptation to the training tasks. Training sessions will be done 3 days a week for 40- 50 minutes/day (18). Group 1 will receive Kinect-based exergaming balance training. Warm-up exercise will be for 5 minutes, including gentle stretching exercises, and 5 minutes will be given for a cool down, including deep breathing exercises Group (A) / (Kinect-based Exergaming balance training): 1. 20,000 leaks 2. Reflex ridge 3. River rush 4. Rally ball

PROCEDURE

Wii Fit balance training

The total duration of the intervention protocol is 6 weeks. However, progression depends on the participant's comfort, performance, and adaptation to the training tasks. Training sessions will be done 3 days a week for 40- 50 minutes/day (18). Group 2 will receive Wii Fit balance training. Warm-up exercise will be for 5 minutes, including gentle stretching exercises, and 5 minutes will be given for a cool down, including deep breathing exercises Group (B) / Wii Fit balance training: 1. Soccer header 2. Lotus Focus(Minimal) 3. Tightrope Walk 4. Ski slalom
