简要总结
The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness between game-based virtual reality intervention and conventional health education in improving older adults' balance knowledge, and let them know how to prevent falling. The intervention group will receive virtual reality games in person and read the health education flier, while the control group was assigned to read the health education flier and follow suit the video of balance exercise.
详细描述
Falls can lead to disability, sickbed and even death of the elderly, and it ranks second among the top ten which causes death in Taiwan. In the past, when multifaceted exercise interventions were conducted for the elderly, most of them focused on group strength training and aerobic exercise, but lacked individualized balance training, resulting in a low degree of cooperation.

结局指标
主要结局
Balance or sensory-Integration test
时间窗: Right after the intervention
The balance of postural-stability test and the modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance (m-CTSIB) were performed using the Biodex Stability System (BSS; Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, New York, USA).
Modified Clinical Test for Sensory Integration of Balance (m-CTSIB)
时间窗: Right after the intervention
The m-CTSIB, which includes 4 sway indices, was conducted 4 sensory conditions: (1) eyes open whilst standing on a firm surface (EOFIS); (2) eyes closed whilst standing on a firm surface (ECFIS): (3) eves open whilst standing on an unstable (foam) surface (EOFOS); and (4) eyes closed whilst standing on an unstable (foam) surface (ECFOS).
Falls Efficacy Scale International
时间窗: Right after the intervention
Participants were assessed by the questionnaire, and we recorded the points of the participants. The higher the point is, the more concerned they are about the falls.
Balance of postural-stability test
时间窗: Right after the intervention
The balance of postural stability was tested according to 3 stability indices (overall stability; anterior-to-posterior stability; and medial-to-lateral stability).
Senior Fitness Test
时间窗: Right after the intervention
Participants were assigned to do 2 tasks of the test. One is time up and go, and the other one is eyes-open single-leg stance test. We recorded the time (in seconds) they took.
