Feasibility Study of an Interactive Wall-Based Intervention Program for Nursing Home Residents and Patients in Long-Term Care Facilities: Mur'Aventure

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Immersive Interactive Wall Exergame Program: Participants will complete a supervised 12-week adapted physical activity program delivered through an immersive interactive wall (NeoXperience). Sessions will be performed twice weekly in groups of four participants and will last approximately 40 minutes, including a warm-up. Games are adapted to participants' physical and cognitive abilities and combine cognitive stimulation with whole-body movements. Heart rate, physical activity intensity, game performance, perceived exertion, fatigue and enjoyment will be monitored throughout the intervention.

Study summary

This prospective, single-arm feasibility study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a 12-week immersive exergame program using an interactive wall in older adults living in nursing homes (EHPAD) or long-term care units (USLD). Exergames are interactive digital games that integrate physical activity into gameplay, requiring users to perform whole-body movements to achieve game objectives while promoting exercise and energy expenditure. Participants will complete two supervised 40-minute sessions per week over 12 weeks. The primary objective is to assess feasibility through acceptability, adherence, and safety. Secondary objectives include evaluating implementation fidelity, preliminary effects on cognition, quality of life and well-being, and characterizing the physical and cognitive demands of the interactive games. Data will include usability and enjoyment questionnaires, attendance, adverse events, heart rate monitoring, cognitive performance (MoCA), quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), psychological well-being (Mini-GDS and QUALIDEM), and game performance. The results will inform the design of a future larger-scale effectiveness trial of immersive exergaming in institutionalized older adults.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Acceptability of the Mur'Aventure program assessed using the French System Usability Scale (F-SUS) — During the 12-week intervention and immediately after the intervention.
  Acceptability will be assessed using the French version of the System Usability Scale (F-SUS), a validated 10-item questionnaire evaluating the perceived usability of a system. Total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater usability and acceptability. Acceptability will be considered achieved if at least 70% of participants obtain a score \>70. Feasibility will be considered successful if all three predefined feasibility criteria (acceptability, adherence, and safety) are met. If one or more criteria are not met, the feasibility of the intervention will be interpreted in light of the unmet criterion(ia), and potential modifications to the intervention or study procedures will be discussed.
