The Usability and Effect of a Novel Intelligent Rehabilitation Exergame System on Quality of Life in Frail Older Adults: Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aging in older adults results in a decline in physical function and quality of daily life. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exercise frequency among older adults decreased, further contributing to frailty. Traditional rehabilitation using repetitive movements tends not to attract older adults to perform independently.

Objective

Intelligent Rehabilitation Exergame System (IRES), a novel retro interactive exergame that incorporates real-time surface electromyography, was developed and evaluated.

Methods

Frail older adults were invited to use the IRES for rehabilitation using lower limb training twice per week for 4 weeks. Participants were required to have no mobility or communication difficulties and be willing to complete the 4-week study. The enrolled coh
