About this study
The aging population is growing in Sweden and worldwide, highlighting the urgent need to address their needs using available societal resources. In Swedish nursing homes, about 80,000 people reside, 70% of whom have cognitive impairments, and many are physically inactive. Cognitive impairment negatively impacts daily activities and quality of life, and is the most common reason for moving from home to a nursing home. Methods to meet these individuals' needs must be developed to motivate physical, cognitive, and social activation, aiming to improve the quality of life for older people with cognitive impairments.
Movement-based interactive technology is a type of welfare technology that uses a virtual environment to stimulate activity. Virtual cycling is one example, where the individual pedals a stationary bike while watching a self-chosen interactive film. Virtual cycling thus includes multiple elements such as physical activation and cognitive and social stimulation. Previous research has shown virtual cycling to be a promising method for older adults with cognitive impairments. Few nursing homes have used this method, but a pilot project (unpublished) at nursing home for people with dementia, the investigators observed positive effects on the residents' quality of life. Virtual cycling has only been evaluated in three small international research studies, none of which have examined the impact on participants' quality of life. Therefore, the project's aim is to evaluate whether virtual cycling can improve quality of life and the physical, social, and cognitive activity abilities of older people with cognitive impairments.
- Does virtual cycling contribute to an improved quality of life for older people with cognitive impairment?
- How do residential staff and research assistants perceive the impact of virtual cycling on the physical, social, and cognitive abilities, as well as the quality of life, of older people with cognitive impairment?
- What experiences do residential staff and research assistants have regarding the opportunities and obstacles for implementing virtual cycling?
Read the detailed description
The project includes two studies;
Study 1) The Intervention Study
A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) study with a quantitative design. Approximately 60-80 people will be included in the intervention study and randomized into either the intervention group or the control group. The cycling intervention involves cycling twice a week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting about 40 minutes.The intervention will be carried out at the nursing home where the participant resides.
Measurement instruments will be used where participants will answer questions and perform physical tests. Observation instruments and questionnaires with questions concerning the participants will be answered by residential staff and research assistants. Information regarding necessary medications and Body mass index will be obtained from the participants' health and medical records from the municipality.
Analysis Pre- and post-measurements will be conducted.The results from the measurements will be statistically analyzed and the outcomes compared between the intervention group and the control group. The results will be analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle, meaning that all participants' results will be analyzed regardless of whether they completed the intervention or not. The results will also be analyzed per protocol, meaning that only individuals who completed the intervention (16 cycling sessions) will be included in the analysis.
Description of the Virtual Cycling Intervention The intervention to be carried out involves the participant cycling on a stationary bike while an interactive film plays on a large-screen Television. The films allow the participant to cycle through various landscapes, cities, etc., and the participant can choose the film based on their previous experiences and interests, to create a motivating activity. Participants will perform the activity individually, together with a research assistant. The research assistant is a specialist nurse assistant (specially trained in the field of dementia or welfare technology) who is well-versed in working with people with dementia and works daily with this client group. The research assistant will be active during the activity and stimulate the participant to talk about what they see and experience while cycling to enhance the participant's cognitive and social activity abilities.
Study 2) The Interview Study
After the intervention (study 1) is completed, a qualitative study will be conducted using semi-structured interviews with residential staff and research assistants. The interview guide includes questions about participants' daily activities before, during, and after the intervention, changes in quality of life, participants' experiences of the intervention, and thoughts on using the virtual bike in the residence. Approximately 25-30 residential staff/research assistants are planned to be interviewed until saturation is reached. All interviews will be conducted by a doctoral student and will take about 45 minutes each. The interviews will be recorded and transcribed verbatim.The interviews with the residential staff will take place approximately 2-4 weeks after the end of the cycling intervention. The research assistants will be interviewed approximately 2-4 weeks after all cycling interventions have been completed.
Analysis The interviews and questionnaire responses will be analyzed inductively, where meaning units, condensed meaning units, codes, and categories form themes that describe the entire material. The themes will be illustrated with quotes. The analyses will be conducted using the software NVivo 12. Some of the interviewed participants will be selected to discuss the analyzed results with the doctoral student and a researcher at one occasion. This procedure increases the validity of the interview study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quality of life- Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia
Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia (QUALID) is a proxy instrument and assesses observable quality of life in dementia. The QUALID includes eleven questions about observed behavior and mood (smiling, appearing sad, crying, irritable, etc.) that assess quality of life in dementia on a five-point Likert scale. The result of the test is scored between 11-55 points, where lower scores indicate a higher quality of life. It will be conducted two times, approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the intervention, for both the treatment group and the control group. The required time for the test is 15 minutes.
Measured: 10 weeks
Secondary outcomes (5)
Quality of life- EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels
EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) measures quality of life and will be used as both a self-assessment instrument and a proxy instrument. The instrument consists of two parts, with the first part containing five health dimensions: mobility, daily activities, self-care, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The EQ-5D-5L is an extension of the original EQ-5D with expanded response options, including five statements indicating whether an individual has "no," "slight," "moderate," "severe," or "extremely severe" problems within the dimensions. In the second part of the instrument, the individual's general health is assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS).
It will be conducted two times, approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the intervention, for both the treatment group and the control group. The required time for the test is 15 minutes.
Measured: 10 weeks
Behavioral and psychological symptoms- The Neuropsychiatric Inventory
The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) measures behavioral and psychological symptoms through observation in individuals with dementia. Through observations, the presence and severity of 12 symptoms are assessed, such as agitation, depression, anxiety, apathy, and motor restlessness. The instrument rates the presence (Likert scale, 1-4 points) and severity (Likert scale, 0-3 points) of the various symptoms. The frequency and severity scores are multiplied to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 144 points, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
It is a proxy instrument and it will be conducted two times, approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the intervention, for both the treatment group and the control group. The required time for the test is 15 minutes.
Measured: 10 weeks
Physical test- The Timed Chair Stand Test
The Timed Chair Stand Test (TCST), measures strength in the lower extremities. The participant is to perform ten chair rises from a chair (height 45 cm). The participant must stand up fully and sit down completely each time. The outcome measure is the time in seconds, with a longer time indicating a higher risk of falls in older adults.
It will be conducted two times, approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the intervention, for both the treatment group and the control group. The required time for the test is 15 minutes.
Measured: 10 weeks
Physical test- The Timed Up and Go
The Timed Up and Go (TUG), assesses and measures mobility and proactive balance. The participant is to rise from a seated position in an armchair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back, and sit down. The time taken to complete this task is measured. The outcome measure is the time in seconds, with a longer time indicating a higher risk of falls in older adults.
It will be conducted two times, approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the intervention, for both the treatment group and the control group. The required time for the test is 15 minutes.
Measured: 10 weeks
Cognitive test- The Mini-Mental State Examination
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), is a screening instrument for cognitive impairment. The instrument consists of 20 questions (maximum 30 points) and assesses cognitive functions, such as orientation, memory, language, and visuospatial ability. Lower points indicate more cognitive difficulties. Indication of dementia is has cut-off of <24 points (out of 30 points).
It will be conducted two times, approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the intervention, for both the treatment group and the control group. The required time for the test is 30 minutes.
Measured: 10 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The aging population is growing in Sweden and worldwide, highlighting the urgent need to address their needs using available societal resources. In Swedish nursing homes, about 80,000 people reside, 70% of whom have cognitive impairments, and many are physically inactive. Cognitive impairment negatively impacts daily activities and quality of life, and is the most common reason for moving from home to a nursing home. Methods to meet these individuals' needs must be developed to motivate physical, cognitive, and social activation, aiming to improve the quality of life for older people with cognitive impairments.
Movement-based interactive technology is a type of welfare technology that uses a virtual environment to stimulate activity. Virtual cycling is one example, where the individual pedals a stationary bike while watching a self-chosen interactive film. Virtual cycling thus includes multiple elements such as physical activation and cognitive and social stimulation.

Primary outcome
Quality of life- Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia
Time frame: 10 weeks
Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia (QUALID) is a proxy instrument and assesses observable quality of life in dementia. The QUALID includes eleven questions about observed behavior and mood (smiling, appearing sad, crying, irritable, etc.) that assess quality of life in dementia on a five-point Likert scale. The result of the test is scored between 11-55 points, where lower scores indicate a higher quality of life. It will be conducted two times, approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the intervention, for both the treatment group and the control group. The required time for the test is 15 minutes.
