The Impact

Abstract Introduction It is projected that the number of adults aged 60 or above will be 1.4 billion in 2030 and 2.1 billion in 2050. With aging, mobility limitations can cause severe difficulties on being independent during activities of daily living. Exercise has been shown as effective to counteract the impact of aging, although it is hard to create adherence. Exergames, as they increase the appeal of exercise, show promising results in terms of participation and promotion of healthy behaviours. Objectives This study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the Otago Exercise Program incorporated in FallSensing Exergames. Methodology Community-dwelling older adults aged 60 or over, were recruited from facilities in Coimbra, Portugal and randomized in two groups, 27 allocated to the intervention (IG) and 34 to the control (CG). Regular activities of daily living (CG) were compared to an Exergame program (IG). Assessments were made at baseline and re-assessments at 8 weeks/16 sessions, regarding strength, balance, walking speed, participation and self-efficacy for exercise. Results 61 older adults (77% female), mean ages were 82.22 (IG) and 87.26 (CG) years. After 8 weeks, CG demonstrated a decrease in functional ability. IG got improvement in Step test (p = 0.001), 4 Stage Balance Modified test (p = 0.001), Self-Efficacy for Exercise (p = 0.009) and Activities and Participation Profile Related to Mobility (p < 0.001) questionnaires. Conclusion Exergaming was safe and effective in improving functional ability, participation and self-efficacy. Nevertheless, some considerations are necessary when prescribing an Exergames, mainly concerning frequency and intensity of the exercise program and participants’ age.

Significant Difference

Normal aging results in alterations in the structure and function of the brain, causing impairment in cognitive function and dependency in performing activities of daily living. A multicomponent physical activity program has been recommended to maintain physical and cognitive function in elderly individuals. The present study aimed at measuring the effect of such an exercise program on the cognitive function and activities of daily living(ADL) function in community dwelling elderly individuals. 52 elderly adults living in the community and ambulating independently were selected purposively and underwent a 10-week multi-component exercise program which included aerobic exercise, strength training, balance exercises and functional training. The participants were assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Barthel Index(BI) at baseline and every two weeks up till 10 weeks. The data obtained was analysed usind descriptive statistics and t-test for finding the effect of the intervention program on the outcome measures. The results showed a significant difference in the pre- to post-intervention scores of both the outcome measures. A multicomponent exercise program was seen to be effective in improving the cognitive function and level of ADL activity in community dwelling elderly individuals. Such an exercise program should be recommended to all elderly adults in order to maintain their cognitive and overall functioning and to improve their productivity.
