Tele-exergame: Remotely-supervised Exercise Platform for Improving Cognition and Motor Function Using Telemedicine

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

As our population ages, more older adults face motor-cognitive declines, increasing their risk of falls and fear of falling. Exercise is an effective way to maintain cognitive function, as supported by recent studies. However, those with poor motor and cognitive abilities often struggle to visit rehabilitation centers, leading to high dropout rates and low adherence to unsupervised programs. A remote exercise program tailored for individuals with cognitive impairments is urgently needed to preserve cognitive function, promote independent living, and reduce related costs. Researchers aim to develop an in-home system for adults with mild cognitive issues or dementia, designed to improve balance and cognition while being remotely supervised through telemedicine.
