About this study
Official title: Effects and Feasibility of an AI-Assisted Multicomponent Exergame Intervention in Older Adults: A Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Falls and decline in physical function are common problems in community-dwelling older adults. Exercise programs may help improve balance, mobility, and physical function and may reduce fall risk.
This study aims to evaluate the effects and feasibility of an 8-week Ring Fit Adventure-based exercise program in community-dwelling older adults with functional decline and risk of falls. Eligible participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups and followed for 24 weeks.
The study will examine whether this exercise program can improve balance, physical function, and fall risk. Outcomes will be assessed at multiple time points, including before the intervention, after the intervention, and during follow-up.
Read the detailed description
Falls and functional decline are major health concerns among community-dwelling older adults. Reduced balance, decreased mobility, and lower physical performance may increase the risk of falls and loss of independence. Exercise-based interventions have been used to improve balance and physical function in older adults. Ring Fit Adventure is an interactive exercise program that combines game-based tasks with physical activity and may provide a feasible and engaging approach for this population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of a Ring Fit Adventure-based exercise intervention for community-dwelling older adults with functional decline and fall risk.
This study will enroll 100 participants. Participants will undergo study assessments at baseline and follow-up time points. The intervention period is 8 weeks, and the total follow-up period is 24 weeks. Outcome assessments are planned at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), and follow-up time points (T2 and T3).
The study will evaluate changes in balance, physical function, and fall risk after participation in the intervention. The Brief-BESTest will be used as one of the main outcome measures. Additional outcome measures will be collected according to the study protocol.
The findings of this study may help determine whether a game-based exercise intervention is a practical and beneficial approach for improving function and reducing fall risk in community-dwelling older adults.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Ring Fit Adventure-based Exercise ProgramBehavioural
Participants will receive an 8-week Ring Fit Adventure-based exercise program designed for community-dwelling older adults. The intervention uses structured exergame-based physical activity to improve balance, physical function, and fall risk.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ring Fit Adventure Exercise Group | Experimental | Participants in this arm will receive an 8-week AI-assisted movement classification using Ring Fit Adventure-based exercise intervention designed to improve balance, physical function, and fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. Receives: Behavioral: Ring Fit Adventure-based Exercise Program |
| Usual Activity Control Group | No intervention | Participants in this arm will not receive the standard Ring Fit Adventure-based exercise intervention during the study period. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Balance performance measured by Brief-BESTest
Balance performance will be assessed using the Brief Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Brief-BESTest), which evaluates 6 domains of postural control. Each item is scored from 0 to 3, with a total score ranging from 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate better balance performance.
Measured: Baseline, Week 8, Week 12, and Week 24
Secondary outcomes (6)
Cognitive function measured by Montreal Cognitive Assessment
Cognitive function will be assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
Measured: Baseline, Week 8, Week 12, and Week 24
Attendance rate
Attendance will be assessed as the number of completed intervention sessions out of the total planned sessions during the 8-week intervention period.
Measured: During the 8-week intervention period
Adherence to the intervention
Adherence will be defined as attendance at at least 80% of the planned intervention sessions.
Measured: During the 8-week intervention period
Completion rate
Completion will be assessed as the proportion of participants who complete the intervention program and follow-up assessments.
Measured: Up to Week 24
Acceptability measured by RFA-AFSPEQ
Acceptability will be assessed using the self-designed Ring Fit Adventure Acceptability, Feasibility, Safety, and Participation Experience Questionnaire (RFA-AFSPEQ). Higher scores indicate greater acceptance of the intervention.
Measured: Week 8
The 5-item Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5)
It serves as an assessment of psychological distress and mental health status. Each item is evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("extremely").
Measured: Baseline, Week 8, Week 12, and Week 24

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Ring Fit Adventure-based Exercise Program in people with Functional Decline, run by Tungs' Taichung Metroharbour Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Fang Chi Hsu, Master (+886 923730320, monster7561@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Balance performance measured by Brief-BESTest (time frame: Baseline, Week 8, Week 12, and Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
