Virtual Reality as a Tool for Rehabilitation on Elderly People

Assessment of energy expenditure and the quadriceps muscle fatigue of healthy seniors, after two physical activities, being one of an activity guided by interactive video game (Xbox) and another on the treadmill. The participants will perform the activities in two different days, the order will be obtained by randomization.

Treatment and study plan

videogame

Device

Patients will be an assessment of quadriceps muscle strength by surface electromyography, before and after a 30-minute guided activity through an active video game

Other names: exergame, virtual reality

Treadmill

Device

Patients will be an assessment of quadriceps muscle strength by surface electromyography, before and after a 30-minute activity in treadmill.

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of quadriceps muscle fatigue

    Time frame: one year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of heart rate's

    Time frame: one year

    during the activities the patients will be evaluated as the heart rate variation, by means of a frequency meter

  2. Evaluation of peripheral oxygen saturation

    Time frame: one year

    During the activities the patients will be evaluated as the peripheral oxygen saturation, by means of a Pulse Oximeter.

  3. Assessment of energy expenditure

    Time frame: one year

    during the implementation of the proposed activities, patients will be assessed to the energy expenditure with the use of an armband
