Exergaming Revolution in Dementia
This pilot trial is testing whether 12 weeks of exergaming — playing video games that require physical movement, using a platform called the Dividat Senso — improves outcomes for people already living with dementia in long-term care. It compares the exergaming group to usual care. Phase NA means this is a small early-stage pilot study designed to see if the approach is feasible and worth studying further, not a definitive test of whether it works.
