VR vs. Conventional Cycling Exercise for Geriatric Inpatient Physical Activation

November 6, 2021 updated by: Charlotte Suetta, Bispebjerg Hospital

Is Virtual Reality Assisted Cycling Exercise Superior to Conventional Stationary Cycling in Geriatric Patients for Increasing Physical Activity Levels During Hospitalization?

The aim of this study is to investigate whether virtual reality assisted stationary cycling exercise results in more physical activity than conventional unsupervised stationary cycling exercise. Physical activity levels are reported for both exercise duration and volume and non-exercise activity.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Virtual reality cycling exercise
These patient participants will receive 1 session of unsupervised stationary cycling exercise with the SYNCSENSE VR-technology every weekday of participation and be allowed up to 30min of voluntary exercise pr. session.
Device: Virtual reality cycling exercise
Daily voluntary cycling for up to 30 minutes with the virtual reality technology
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Conventional cycling exercise
These patient participants will receive 1 session of unsupervised stationary cycling exercise on every weekday of participation and be allowed up to 30min of voluntary exercise pr. session.
Behavioral: Unsupervised stationary cycling exercise
Daily voluntary cycling for up to 30 minutes (WITHOUT the virtual reality technology)
