Developing and Assessing an Innovative Exergaming Technology for Older Adults Living in Long-term Care Homes
A study testing MouvMat Exergaming and Standard Recreational Programming in people with Physical Inactivity and Cognitive Decline, run by University of Toronto at 2 sites in Canada.
Trial summary
Residents living in long-term care (LTC) homes spend up to 75% of their day in sedentary, socially withdrawn situations which increases their risk for depression, dementia, decreased functional status and increased care costs. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Developing and Assessing an Innovative Exergaming Technology for Older Adults Living in Long-term Care Homes With a User-centered Design Approach
Residents living in long-term care (LTC) homes spend up to 75% of their day in sedentary, socially withdrawn situations which increases their risk for depression, dementia, decreased functional status and increased care costs. Physical activity is an accepted intervention to improve the physical health, cognition, and well-being of older adults. Moreover, systematic reviews have found that exergaming (i.e. physical activity gamified with technology) offers physical, cognitive, and social benefits by means of dual-task activities that engage both motor and cognitive abilities. The effect of exergaming for older adults in LTC is less clear, as this population has greater health needs related to physical health conditions, cognitive impairment, and functional dependence. Given the increased global demand for LTC, there is a need to develop and assess innovative exergaming technologies that can support the physical and cognitive health of LTC residents.
MouvMat is an exergaming technology intervention with an interactive digital gaming surface designed for older adults (OA) in LTC settings. Participants can play familiar games, like Simon or Bingo, by stepping on or tapping the surface with an assistive pointing device. Games can be played individually or with multiple players. LED lights on the surface provide an adaptive digital display and embedded pressure sensors respond to players' input. The investigators collaboratively designed a preliminary prototype with OA aged 65 and older in a pilot project.
The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a pilot RCT of the Mouvmat to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of the exergaming technology to improve the primary outcome of mobility, and the secondary outcomes of cognitive function and social isolation compared to a usual care control group receiving standard recreational programming by recreational therapists.
Read the detailed description
The sample size calculation was completed based on an effect size of 0.65 (power = 0.80; 2-tailed; α= 0.05). Assuming a 5% attrition rate, a total of 56 residents (28 people in a control group and 28 people in the intervention group) will be recruited. A block randomization design using a number generator to conceal the randomization sequence will be used to assign participants' units to the intervention or control groups. Block randomization was conducted to comply with COVID-19 restrictions. The investigators will attempt to recruit equal numbers of men and women with a range of mobility requirements (i.e., ambulate independently, using gait aids such as canes or walkers). In addition, a mix of approximately 5-10 LTC staff and/or residents' family members will be recruited at the end of the trial to conduct semi-structured interviews to understand the acceptability of the technology, design, usability and enjoyment, potential facilitators and barriers to exergame technology.

Standard Recreational ProgrammingBehavioural
Conducted by recreational therapists.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| MouvMat Exergaming | Experimental | Older adults in the intervention group will participate in a 6-week, 3 times per week, 45 minutes per session exercise program involving use of the MouvMat. Each resident from the intervention group will engage with the exergame supervised by a qualified and trained RA. Each intervention session will involve groups of 4-5 participants, with participants taking turns. An RA blinded to participants' condition will collect the outcome data. Receives: Behavioral: MouvMat Exergaming |
