Domain-Specific Evaluation of Exergame Metrics Among Older Adults With Mild Neurocognitive Disorder: Secondary Analysis of 2 Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exergame-based training enhances physical and cognitive performance in older adults, including those with mild neurocognitive disorder (mNCD). In-game metrics generated from user interactions with exergames enable individualized adjustments. However, there is a need to systematically investigate how well such game metrics capture true cognitive and motor-cognitive performance to provide a more robust basis for personalized training.

Objective

The primary objective was to identify valid game metrics as indicators for in-game domain-specific cognitive performance during exergaming in individuals with mNCD. We also aimed to explore game metric performance changes over time during exergame-based training.

Methods

Data were analyzed from individuals with mNCD wh
