Summary

This trial tests whether using real-world props, like a kayak paddle or sitting in an actual kayak, can lower anxiety during a virtual reality (VR) kayaking game in adolescents with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. Participants will be randomly assigned to play the VR game with no props, with some props, or with full props including a real kayak. The study aims to see if these physical elements help make the VR experience less overwhelming and more enjoyable.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Virtual reality kayaking exergame with varying levels of physical props and contextual preparation
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could make VR experiences more comfortable and enjoyable for people with intellectual disabilities, potentially reducing anxiety in therapeutic or recreational settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply broadly. The intervention is brief, and anxiety reduction may not persist beyond the VR session.
