VR vs. Conventional Cycling Exercise for Geriatric Inpatient Physical Activation

NCT05123638 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: VR+Cycling
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 30
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether virtual reality assisted stationary cycling exercise results in more physical activity than conventional unsupervised stationary cycling exercise. Physical activity levels are reported for both exercise duration and volume and non-exercise activity.

Conditions

Inactivity, Physical; Treatment Adherence and Compliance; Hospital Acquired Condition; Sarcopenia

Keywords

Virtual Reality; Patient Preference

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Voluntary exercise duration

  How long the patients choose to exercise with vs. with out VR assistance measured on the stationary bikes internal timer

  3-14 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Voluntary exercise amount

  3-14 days

• Measures of 24 hour physical activity and sedentary behavior

  3-14 days

Study Arms (2)

Virtual reality cycling exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

These patient participants will receive 1 session of unsupervised stationary cycling exercise with the SYNCSENSE VR-technology every weekday of participation and be allowed up to 30min of voluntary exercise pr. session.

Device: Virtual reality cycling exercise

Conventional cycling exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

These patient participants will receive 1 session of unsupervised stationary cycling exercise on every weekday of participation and be allowed up to 30min of voluntary exercise pr. session.

Behavioral: Unsupervised stationary cycling exercise

Interventions

Virtual reality cycling exercise DEVICE

Daily voluntary cycling for up to 30 minutes with the virtual reality technology

Virtual reality cycling exercise

Unsupervised stationary cycling exercise BEHAVIORAL

Daily voluntary cycling for up to 30 minutes (WITHOUT the virtual reality technology)

Conventional cycling exercise

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: NONE
• Masking Details: Since there is only a single investigator conducting this study and due to the nature of exercise intervention, it is impossible to facilitate masking terms in this trial.
• Purpose: OTHER
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
