Study of the Impact of Implicit Motor Training in a Rehabilitation Programme in Frail Elderly Subjects (MAAMI)

February 6, 2026 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon

Study of the Impact of Implicit Motor Training Using a Virtual Reality System and Serious Games on a Tablet Computer in a Rehabilitation Programme in Frail Elderly Subjects

Even though cognitive-motor performances are impaired in frail elderly subjects compared with healthy elderly subjects, exercising cognitive-motor processes in an implicit manner can improve the carrying out of real actions in everyday life.

No training programme using virtual reality and serious games oriented towards the perception/action system has been tested in frail elderly subjects.

The expected results are:

  • In the short term, greater strengthening of motor and cognitive abilities in subjects trained with the virtual reality and serious games, thanks to stimulation through action and through the underlying processes.
  • In the long term (+1 and +3 months at the end of the training period) better preservation of motor and cognitive abilities in subjects who took part in the virtual reality and serious games programme.
