The effect of virtual reality gaming on dynamic balance in older adults
Abstract
BACKGROUND: physical therapy interventions that increase functional strength and balance have been shown to reduce falls in older adults. AIM: this study compared a virtual reality group (VRG) and a control group (CG). DESIGN: randomised controlled 6-week intervention with pre- and post-test evaluations. SETTING: outpatient geriatric orthopaedic and balance physical therapy clinic. POPULATION: forty participants were randomised into two groups. METHOD: the VRG received three different Nintendo® Wii FIT balance interventions three times per week for 6 weeks and the CG received no intervention. RESULTS: compared with the CG, post-intervention measurements showed significant improvements for the VRG in the 8-foot Up & Go test [median decrease of 1.0 versus -0.2 s, (P=0.038) and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (6.9 versus 1.3%) (P=0.038)]. CONCLUSION: virtual reality gaming provides clinicians with a useful tool for improving dynamic balance and balance confidence in older adults.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
