Sponsor's own description
This study examines the feasibility and preliminary effects of user-centered exergames (video game-based physical exercise) in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The user-centered exergames were developed within a interdisciplinary team to meet the requirements of the end-users. The individualized exergames were designed for the Dividat Senso, a pressure sensitive plate connected to a personal computer and a frontal screen. This concurrent motor-cognitive training aims to improve motor and cognitive functions in an ecological valid setting. The cognitive functions are triggered by specific stimuli in the game scenarios. The video games are controlled via specific (whole body) movements as steps, weight shifting, jumps, and arm movements. The training focus is mainly on balance and coordination as well as executive functions and attention. Furthermore, the meaningful games (colorful and appealing visuals) were designed to motivate the players to move. Participants are allocated to the either the intervention group or the control group (quasi-randomization). Participants in the intervention group perform 16 training session over a period of 4 to 8 weeks (depending on in- or out-patient). One training session lasts between 15-25 minutes. Since the difficulty of the games is adaptive to the ability level of each participant, they should neither be over- nor under-challenged. Participates in the control group continue their normal daily routine over 8 weeks. Measurements are performed before, in-between, and after the intervention period to assess feasibility parameters as well as motor and cognitive functions in all participants.
