The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of virtual reality-based exercise on the quality of life, some balance variables, and depression among older adults aged 60 years or older.
We systematically searched five electronic databases.
Twenty-seven articles met our inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis revealed that exercise using virtual reality had a significant positive effect on overall quality of life (p = 0.05), mental (p = 0.001) and physical component scores (p = 0.01), social relation (p = 0.0002), psychological health(p = 0.01), physical health(p = 0.04), and environmental health (p = 0.04). Additionally, depression significantly improved following virtual reality-based exercise (p = 0.01). However, there were significant improvements in the balance berg scale (p<0.00001) and ABC scale (p<0.00001) but not in timed-up-and-go(TUG) or 8-foot-up-and-go(8-FUG).
Virtual reality-based exercise has a positive impact on various aspects of quality of life, BBS and ABC scores, and depression. More studies with larger sample sizes and less heterogeneity in design and assessments are required.
本研究旨在探讨基于虚拟现实的运动对 60 岁及以上老年人生活质量、部分平衡变量和抑郁的影响。
我们系统地检索了五个电子数据库。
符合纳入标准的文章有 27 篇。Meta 分析显示，虚拟现实运动对总体生活质量（p=0.05）、心理（p=0.001）和生理成分评分（p=0.01）、社会关系（p=0.0002）、心理健康（p=0.01）、生理健康（p=0.04）和环境健康（p=0.04）均有显著的积极影响。此外，基于虚拟现实的运动后抑郁显著改善（p=0.01）。然而，平衡伯格量表（p<0.00001）和 ABC 量表（p<0.00001）显著改善，但计时起立行走测试（TUG）和 8 英尺起立行走测试（8-FUG）无显著改善。
基于虚拟现实的运动对生活质量、BBS 和 ABC 评分以及抑郁的多个方面都有积极影响。需要更多设计和评估具有更大样本量和更少异质性的研究。
