Scientists use VR headsets to study how aging affects simple arm movements

NCT ID NCT07435506

Summary

This study aims to understand how people of different ages perform a simple arm-reaching task in virtual reality (VR). Researchers will compare healthy young adults (18-28) and older adults (65-75) as they use a VR headset and controller to touch targets. The goal is to see how age and different types of visual feedback affect movement speed and accuracy, which could help design better VR programs for training or rehabilitation.
