Brief summary
This study aims to determine the potential for 'safe' and 'effective' use of Microsoft Xbox One-based motion games for the geriatric population through expert consensus using a unique set of assessments, and to provide clinicians with an evidence-based guide to game selection.
Interventions
OTHERExergame Applications Assessment
The 'Exergame Applications Assessment Form-Geriatrics (EUDF-G)', to be used in this research, is an assessment form developed by our research team to evaluate the clinical suitability of commercially available games. This form, not directly taken from any existing scale, is structured by combining internationally valid models such as technological usability (SUS), game experience (GEQ), enjoyment of physical activity (PACES-S), and exergame motivation (EEQ) with elderly population-specific motor-safety criteria (Gerling et al., 2012; Marston \& Smith, 2013). This hybrid structure constitutes the unique value of our study, offering a systematic assessment pool designed by our researchers for the clinical selection of Microsoft Xbox One games in the field of geriatric rehabilitation.

| Game Demonstration Materials: | 1 week | As part of the research, a total of 17 games/activities with potential for use in geriatric rehabilitation and compatible with the Microsoft Xbox One Kinect sensor will be submitted for expert evaluation. These games are grouped according to their requirements for lower extremity strength, upper extremity coordination, dynamic balance, and cardiovascular endurance as shown in the table. The "Microsoft Xbox One Game Demonstration Materials," which will be submitted for evaluation by the expert panel as part of the research, consist of the following components that clinically and technically standardize the potential effects of the game on the geriatric population. |
