Brief Summary:
The current proposal aims to 1 develop a technical platform and implementation plan for the delivery of a virtual reality-based mindful movement therapy VR-MMT protocol for older adults and 2 conduct a clinical trial to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an 8-week 16-session module VR-MMT intervention for this population The findings of this study will help us to identify engagement barriers and refine the intervention contents as well as the study protocol necessary for the preparation of grant applications to conduct a controlled clinical trial This study is innovative and high impact as this is the first study to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a VR-MMT intervention that could potentially ameliorate cognitive and mobility decline and promote psychological wellbeing in older adults by combining a widely accessible technology and creative embodiment-based approach
Detailed Description:
Age-related cognitive decline is a significant public health issue Despite the benefit of regular physical activity in preserving cognitive function and overall health and wellbeing approximately 30 of older adults are physically inactive due to a lack of motivation and other engagement barriers Further social isolation and loneliness are common in older adults which are associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimers disease AD and dementia A combination of physical and cognitive training appears to be effective to improve cognitive function in older adults experiencing cognitive deterioration Growing evidence suggests virtual realityVR is a promising tool to improve cognitive functioning in older adults We have developed a novel virtual reality-based mindful movement therapy VR-MMT program for older adults that combines VR games multisensory and cognitive stimulation hand-eye and full body coordination creative processes expressive movement mindfulness practice and social connectedness The current proposal aims to 1 develop a technical platform and implementation plan for the delivery of a VR-MMT protocol for older adults and 2 conduct a clinical trial to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an 8-week 16-session module VR-MMT intervention for this population The findings of this study will help us to identify engagement barriers and refine the intervention contents as well as the study protocol necessary for the preparation of grant applications to conduct a controlled clinical trial As this is the first study to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a VR-MMT intervention that could potentially ameliorate cognitive and mobility decline and promote psychological wellbeing in older adults by combining a widely accessible technology and creative embodiment-based approach it meets the definition of innovative high impact research Our specific aims include
Aim 1 To develop a a technical platform and b an implementation plan for the delivery of a VR-MMT intervention for older adults Technical development and implementation planning will be guided by the expert project team with key input from community stakeholders
