Summary
This study asks a panel of 20 physiotherapists and game technology experts to evaluate whether Microsoft Xbox One motion games are safe and effective for use in geriatric rehabilitation. The researchers developed a special assessment form that combines usability, enjoyment, and safety criteria. The goal is to create a practical guide for clinicians to choose appropriate games for elderly patients.
