Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Home-based Motor-cognitive Training Program in Older Adults

"The simultaneous motor-cognitive training in this study will be conducted in form of exergames (interactive video games) using Senso hardware (DIV-SENSO-H, Dividat GmbH, Schindellegi, Switzerland) - a stepping platform with 5 pressure sensitive plates which is connected to a screen. For the home-based training, a more mobile version of the Dividat Senso will be used: a foldable pressure-sensitive mat. In both devices, stimuli of exergames appear on the screen and the participants have to react by stepping in one of 4 directions (front, back, left, right).~The motor-cognitive training approach allows targeting different cognitive functions such as attention, executive functions, memory, and visuo-spatial functions as well as balance, and strength.~FITT-VP principles will serve as a guideline but based on the functional status of each participant (physical and cognitive), the training sessions will be personalized in terms of training content, intensity and duration."
