简要总结
Frailty is a state of being vulnerable and functional disable due to age-related decline of multiple physiological systems, and is often associated with higher risk of falls, institutionalization, hospitalization, disability, dementia, and death. One of the best strategies to combat the burden of frailty is to promote physical activity in the aging population, especially to the older adults who are already in a frail condition

干预措施: Individualized motion-based interactive game program (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
The change of physical activity before and after the program
时间窗: baseline pre-intervention, 4.5 months when the program is completed
Physical activities of the older adults will be measured by the Chinese version of the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly. The PASE-C is a 12-items scale estimating the frequency and intensity of older adults' lifestyle physical activities with three types of physical activities (leisure-time activity: 5 items; household activity: 6 items; work-related activity: 1 item) during the previous 7-day period. The total score is computed by the multiplication on the time spent (recorded as never, seldom: 1-2 days per week, sometimes: 3-4 days per week, and often: 5-7 days per week) or participation (yes/no) on each activity by items weights, and summarize all the items. Higher scores mean higher frequency and intensity of physical activities.
