YOOMI: Effect of Gamified Physical Therapy Exercise Software on Inpatient Mobility
A study testing Yoomi Physical Therapy Software in people with Weakness, Muscle and Delirium in Old Age, run by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Patients admitted to the hospital often develop functional impairments due to being in bed most of the day. Each day of bedrest leads to significant muscle loss. As a result, many patients become dependent on others or require rehabilitation at a facility to improve mobility and function prior to returning home. Read more about this study

About this study
Patients admitted to the hospital often develop functional impairments due to being in bed most of the day. Each day of bedrest leads to significant muscle loss. As a result, many patients become dependent on others or require rehabilitation at a facility to improve mobility and function prior to returning home. Staff in the hospital is limited and often unable to mobilize patients every day while hospitalized. The investigators are testing a new experimental gamified physical therapy exercise software to see if it can be a fun, enjoyable way to help mobilize patients without the assistance of staff. The primary aim of this pilot/proof of concept study is to determine whether gamified physical therapy software can help inpatients exercise within the safety of their own beds and preserve pre-hospitalization function.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Yoomi Physical Therapy SoftwareDevice
Physical Therapy software via a computer/monitor will be set up for the patient. It will begin with a tutorial video for different exercises in the form of games and then ask patients to perform in sequence with prompting and motion tracking. Exercises include Frontal Bicep Curls, Arm Crosses, Press Ups, Arm Rotations, and Basketball Shots.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Gamified Physical Therapy Exercise Software Intervention + Usual Care | Experimental | Participants randomized to the intervention group will be asked each day by a volunteer whether they would like to use the gamified physical therapy exercise software while in their beds. Participants willing to exercise will have the device set up for them to participate by a volunteer and the software will begin with a tutorial video for different exercises and then ask patients to perform in sequence with prompting and motion tracking. Exercises include Frontal Bicep Curls, Arm Crosses, Press Ups, Arm Rotations, and Basketball Shots. Receives: Device: Yoomi Physical Therapy Software |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
% of Participants Who Reported "Yes" to Enjoying Their Work Out and Believing They Benefited From the Activity for Intervention Group Questionnaire.
% Of participants who reported "yes" to enjoying their work out and believed they benefited from the activity. These are two questions from the survey that were combined. Scale includes "Yes", "Maybe", "No" as possible responses.
Measured: Collected daily at the end of each workout. Survey responses were averaged for each participant.
Mean Software Utilization Time for Intervention Group (Change is Being Assessed)
Mean Software Utilization Time for Intervention Group was calculated by taking the mean of daily minutes per exercise session per participant, and then calculating the mean minutes utilization time for all participants.
Measured: Collected daily throughout duration of patient hospitalization, usually 1-2 weeks, Daily minutes were averaged over sessions
Average Exercise Repetitions Completed for Intervention Group
Completed exercise repetitions per patient were calculated by taking the mean of each participant's daily exercise repetitions and then calculating a mean of all participants.
Measured: Collected daily throughout duration of patient hospitalization, usually 1-2 weeks
Secondary outcomes (3)
Average Change in Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AMPAC) Scores
Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AMPAC) scores done by nurses twice daily (Score ranging from 0 to 24 with higher being better)
Measured: Collected daily throughout duration of patient hospitalization, usually 1-2 weeks, Daily scores were averaged
Length of Hospital Stay
Measured: Collected at the time of discharge of patient hospitalization, usually 1-2 weeks
Discharged Home
Number of Participants with discharged home (as opposed to rehab, SNF)
Measured: Collected at time of discharge, usually 1-2 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Patients admitted to the hospital often develop functional impairments due to being in bed most of the day. Each day of bedrest leads to significant muscle loss. As a result, many patients become dependent on others or require rehabilitation at a facility to improve mobility and function prior to returning home. Staff in the hospital is limited and often unable to mobilize patients every day while hospitalized. The investigators are testing a new experimental gamified physical therapy exercise software to see if it can be a fun, enjoyable way to help mobilize patients without the assistance of staff.
