How feedback and age affect arm movements in virtual reality
This study looks at how feedback (like visual cues) affects arm and hand movements in virtual reality for younger and older adults. It may help understand how aging changes movement control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be either 18–28 years old or 65–75 years old.
- You must be right-handed.

- You must be free of neurological or psychiatric conditions (like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's).
- You must be between 1.50 m and 1.80 m tall.

This study tests whether doing a virtual-reality–based training program at home can improve movement and daily use of the right arm and hand in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help reduce hand limitations by practicing targeted movement skills using an easy remote setup.
This study tests whether older adults receiving home care can enjoy and benefit from virtual reality group sessions with others. It aims to improve social connection and well-being using a VR headset over about 4 months.
This trial uses virtual reality exercises to see if they can help improve brain function in older adults who have some memory concerns and physical frailty. Researchers want to know if a fun, interactive VR program can strengthen connections in the brain and improve daily life.
This study asks people using virtual reality for arm or shoulder rehabilitation to answer questions about how they feel about it. Your responses help improve VR rehab for conditions like shoulder pain or stroke recovery.
This trial tests if using virtual reality can help older adults who have trouble moving and adapting to their surroundings (psychomotor disadaptation syndrome). It aims to improve their care while in a hospital geriatric unit.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (wearing a headset with special programs) combined with occupational therapy can help older adults improve balance, reduce falls, and become less frail. If you join, you would do these exercises during your rehabilitation sessions at the residence.
