Brief Summary: This study will be conducted in a hospital in Spain to investigate how a special intervention using immersive virtual reality technology can benefit hospitalized older adults with difficulties in their daily functionality

The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether a cognitive stimulation intervention through immersive virtual reality along with specific physical exercises can improve the cognitive and physical function of hospitalized older patients It is expected that this innovative intervention will have a positive impact on the quality of life of these patients

Participants eligible for the study must be over 75 years old have severe functional dependency upon hospital admission and be willing to participate Those with severe dementia or other terminal illnesses will be excluded

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four study groups a control group without intervention and three intervention groups including viewing Spanish landscapes through virtual reality performing specific physical exercises or a combination of both interventions

At the end of the study various aspects such as cognitive and physical function mood quality of life muscle strength and acceptance of virtual reality technology by patients will be evaluated

This study aims to provide new insights into the care of hospitalized older adults and explore innovative ways to improve their well-being during their hospital stay
Detailed Description: This study will be conducted in a Spanish tertiary hospital to investigate the impact of a cognitive stimulation intervention through immersive virtual reality IVR on hospitalized older adults with severe functional dependency The study will also examine the combined effect of a multicomponent exercise intervention ME with IVR A total of 212 acute patients will be enrolled in the Acute Geriatric Unit of the hospital meeting specific inclusion criteria related to age stability in cardiopulmonary respiratory and neurological systems expected length of stay and ability to communicate and collaborate with the research team Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group or one of three intervention groups IVR ME or IVR ME

The interventions for the IVR and ME groups will involve watching 3D videos of Spanish landscapes and undergoing progressive upper and lower extremity exercises respectively The IVR ME group will receive both interventions while the control group will receive usual care Primary outcome measures include cognitive tests strength assessments and balance and mobility evaluations Secondary outcome measures include mood quality of life functional performance delirium assessments and length of hospital stay

The study will take place in the Acute Geriatric Unit AGU of a tertiary hospital in Pamplona Navarra Spain and will adhere to standard clinical trial guidelines Eligibility criteria include medical inpatients admitted to the AGU between January 2024 and March 2025 with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria The study aims to evaluate the impact of the interventions on cognitive and physical function among hospitalized older adults with severe functional dependency with the goal of enhancing their well-being and care during hospitalization

The research team anticipates that the interventions will positively influence cognitive function physical performance mood quality of life isometric strength and acceptance of virtual reality technology among participants The studys comprehensive approach encompasses various assessments to provide a holistic evaluation of the interventions effectiveness in improving outcomes for hospitalized older adults with severe functional dependency

Overall this study represents a significant effort to understand how innovative interventions such as cognitive stimulation through IVR and multicomponent physical exercise could positively impact the health outcomes and quality of life of hospitalized older adults with severe functional dependency The studys findings are expected to provide valuable insights for healthcare providers researchers and policymakers seeking to optimize care for this population
