What this could lead to
If it works, this could make exercise more enjoyable and help older adults in rehab get more physical activity.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply widely. It's testing feasibility, not effectiveness, and VR may cause dizziness or discomfort.
