“…The majority of studies did not integrate the oldest old as a meaningful proportion of the sample, despite the increasing [10][11][12]14,17,[21][22][23][24][25][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]42,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] To clarify sample proportions and enable our analysis, two authors contacted the respective authors seeking further clarification of the actual number of participants q85 years of age when necessary. Consistent with previous reviews, 2-5 this study highlights a substantial gap in the knowledge base and encourage further exploration into digital gaming use in those 85 years of age and greater.…”

“…The remaining 37 articles all reported high percentages of female participants, thus being the majority of the gender split.

Background: Interest in the use of digital game technologies by older adults is growing across disciplines from health and gerontology to computer science and game studies. The objective of this scoping review was to examine research evidence involving the oldest old (persons 85 years of age or greater) and digital game technology. Materials and Methods: PubMed, CINHAL, and Scopus were searched, and 46 articles were included in this review. Results: Results highlighted that 60 percent of articles were published in gerontological journals, whereas only 8.7 percent were published in computer science journals. No studies focused directly on the oldest old population. Few studies included sample sizes greater than 100 participants. Seven primary and 34 secondary themes were identified, of which Hardware Technology and Assessment were the most common. Conclusions: Existing evidence demonstrates the paucity of studies engaging older adults 85 years of age and above regarding the use of digital gaming and highlights a new understudied cohort for further research focus. Recommendations for future research include intentional recruitment and proportionate representation of participants q85 years of age, large sample sizes, and explicit mention of specific numbers of participants q85 years of age, which are necessary to advance knowledge in this area. Integrating a rigorous and robust mixedmethods approach including theoretical perspectives would lend itself to further in-depth understanding and knowledge generation in this field.

“…The primary aim of the reviewed studies was to evaluate the potential effect of gaming/VR exercise on balance, either alone (9,12,(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46), in combination with other physical abilities such as strength or mobility (11,13,(47)(48)(49)(50)(51), or in combination with falls or fear of falling, cognition, quality of life, or user experience (52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62). Seven studies investigated the effect of gaming/VR exercise on gait parameters (63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69), and six studies examined the effectiveness with regard to different physical functions and associated fall risk (10,(70)(71)(72)…”

Background: There has been a rapid increase in research on the use of virtual reality (VR) and gaming technology as a complementary tool in exercise and rehabilitation in the elderly population. Although a few recent studies have evaluated their efficacy, there is currently no in-depth description and discussion of different game technologies, physical functions targeted, and safety issues related to older adults playing exergames. Objectives: This integrative review provides an overview of the technologies and games used, progression, safety measurements and associated adverse events, adherence to exergaming, outcome measures used, and their effect on physical function. Methods: We undertook systematic searches of SCOPUS and PubMed databases. Key search terms included "game", "exercise", and "aged", and were adapted to each database. To be included, studies had to involve older adults aged 65 years or above, have a pre-post training or intervention design, include ICT-implemented games with weight-bearing exercises, and have outcome measures that included physical activity variables and/or clinical tests of physical function. Results: Sixty studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The studies had a broad range of aims and intervention designs and mostly focused on community-dwelling healthy older adults. The majority of the studies used commercially available gaming technologies that targeted a number of different physical functions. Most studies reported that they had used some form of safety measure during intervention. None of the studies reported serious adverse events. However, only 21 studies (35%) reported on whether adverse events occurred. Twenty-four studies reported on adherence, but only seven studies (12%) compared adherence to exergaming with other forms of exercise. Clinical measures of balance were the most frequently used outcome measures. PEDro scores indicated that most studies had several methodological problems, with only 4 studies fulfilling 6 or more criteria out of 10. Several studies found positive effects of exergaming on balance and gait, while none reported negative effects. 2 function in older adults, with few reported adverse events. As there is large variability between studies in terms of intervention protocols and outcome measures, as well as several methodological limitations, recommendations for both practice and further research are provided in order to successfully establish exergames as an exercise and rehabilitation tool for older adults.

IntroduçãoO envelhecimento populacional é um fenômeno de amplitude mundial caracterizado pelo aumento da expectativa de vida. A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) estima que, em 2025, existirão aproximadamente, 1,2 bilhões de pessoas com idade superior a 60 anos 1 . O processo de envelhecimento predispõe o idoso às diversas alterações físicas/funcionais, entre elas, diminuição da força, da coordenação, do equilíbrio, da flexibilidade, da agilidade e da aptidão cardiorrespiratória. Como consequência, pode aumentar a predisposição às quedas, podendo ocasionar o aumento das lesões/fraturas 2 . Além disso, outro aspecto presente no envelhecimento é o aumento na incidência de transtornos de humor, mais especificamente, queixas de ansiedade e depressão 3,4 . Estudos mostram que a depressão é a doença mental mais comum entre os idosos, e está associada com aumento da morbidade, mortalidade prematura e com maior utilização
