Implication

Clinical trial protocol reports usability and acceptability of home virtual reality telerehabilitation in older adults with neurological injury, indicating potential to ease caregiver burden.

Key Points

To evaluate the usability and acceptability of RecoveryFun, an integrated virtual reality–based telerehabilitation platform designed for home-based upper limb functional recovery in older adults with neurological conditions.
Interventional multicenter protocol (NCT06640452) across 3 recruitment sites in Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland.
Recruited 16 older adults with stroke or brain injury, their caregivers, and 6 health care professionals to complete at least 20 minutes per week of home exergames over 4 weeks using a headset and wearable sensor.
Primary outcomes evaluate platform usability and acceptability via the System Usability Scale, User Experience Questionnaire, and QUEST 2.0, alongside secondary measures of motor function and caregiver burden.
Participant recruitment and 4-week interventional home trials concluded between May 2024 and June 2024 across all three international centers.
Comprehensive qualitative and quantitative outcomes regarding usability scores, acceptability metrics, and motor functional recovery are expected to be published by winter 2025.
