Brief summary
Emerging technologies that utilize motion capture integrated with engaging software offer new methods for increasing engagement and movement in patients admitted to the hospital. Hospitalized patients are often limited to sedentary activities, spending the majority of their time in bed, which can contribute to deconditioning and functional mobility deficits. This study seeks to explore the feasibility of a tool designed to promote movement through engaging gameplay that is acceptable to both clinicians and families.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the ease of use of Optitrack system measured by System Usability Scale (SUS) | Post-simulation (5 minutes)] | 10-item questionnaire with a scale from 1- 5, 1 being strongly disagree to 5 being strongly agree on a five-point Likert scale to measure usability. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) survey | immediately after the intervention | This questionnaire consists of 4 items. Measures are to be graded using a 1-5 scale, from 1=completely disagree, to 5= completely agree |
| Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) survey | immediately after the intervention | This questionnaire consists of 4 items. Measures are to be graded using a 1-5 scale, from 1=completely disagree, to 5= completely agree |
| ISO 9241-400 | immediately after intervention | 6-item ergonomic questionnaire with a scale from 1- 5, 1 being strongly disagree to 5 being strongly agree on a five-point Likert scale. |
| Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) survey | immediately after the intervention | This questionnaire consists of 4 items. Measures are to be graded using a 1-5 scale, from 1=completely disagree, to 5= completely agree |
| Duration of gameplay-driven physical activity | immediately at the start of intervention, immediately after intervention | Time from first recorded movement in response to gameplay to last movement as recorded by OptiTrack motion capture or clinician observation |
| Evaluation parent's perception of patient's engagement. | immediately after intervention | Parent acceptance of the system will be evaluated by self developed questionnaire. The questionnaire contains 10 items with scale from 1-5, 1 being strongly disagree to 5 being strongly agree on a five-point Likert scale. |
| Setup time required for system use | Before intervention | Time required to set up the system, defined as the duration from participant arrival in the gym to the start of the physical activity. |
