Brief Summary

The study included 15 geriatric individuals over the age of 65 staying in Kızılay Zeynep Nedim Oyvar Nursing Home and Elderly Nursing Home. Participants in the study were rehabilitated by playing exergame games with Xbox 360 KinectTM for 30 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. Before starting the application, the participants were given a demographic information form, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia, Nintendo Wii balance platform and basic balance game for balance measurement, geriatric depression scale-short form for depression, cognitive functions, and mini-mental state test for the lower extremities. functional strength and risk of falling. The shuttle test was applied 5 times. These tests will be repeated at the end of 8 sessions and before and after values were measured. As a result of the analysis, the effects of Xbox 360 KinectTM games on kinesiophobia, balance, lower extremity muscle strength, depression, and cognitive functions in geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia were investigated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS)

  It measures fear of movement and fear of re-injury. It was used to evaluate the development of fear of movement after treatment. A 4-point Likert scoring (1= I strongly disagree, 4= I totally agree) is used in the scale. After reversing items 4, 8, 12 and 16, a total score is calculated. The person gets a total score between 17-68. A high score on the scale indicates that kinesiophobia is also high.

  8 weeks

• BeCure Balance Evaluation System

  The BeCure Balance Assessment System protocol used in this study; It was planned to determine the amount of change in the center of gravity in the x and y axes and the position of the body center of gravity during standing balance on the board for 15 seconds with eyes open, with images.

Interventions

virtual reality DEVICE

The BeCure Balance Assessment System protocol used in this study; It was planned to determine the amount of change in the center of gravity in the x and y axes and the position of the center of gravity of the body with images during standing and balancing for 15 seconds on the board with eyes open. In order to support the balanced development of the participants with the Becure system; Balance surfing, balance adventure, balance bowling and traffic games were played. uBall, gates, smartclean and SmartBubblePop games with Kinect for the upper extremity; KneeUp game was played on the lower extremity.
