Development and Validation of Sports Facilities in a Supportive Environment to Improve the Well-being of the Elderly
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Individual assistance Virtual reality training sessions and Collective assistance Virtual reality training sessions for Aging Well. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn more about the potential for using virtual reality in older adults living in residences for elderly to maintain health (physical activity, cognitive activity, social behaviors). The main questions it aims to answer are: * To what extent can virtual reality be a tool to support health in older adults? * What are the support needs of older adults in learning to use this immersive technology? Participants are invited to complete 5 weekly training sessions on the use of a virtual reality headset. At the beginning and end of each session, participants will complete a questionnaire on their perception of their experience. During the sessions, the participants are asked to test games that mobilize the upper limbs. Two learning modalities are set up in two separate groups. These modalities aim to test two different support formulas in order to compare the support needs of the elderly in the use and integration of virtual reality to support the activities and health of this population.
