Feasibility of Virtual Reality-assisted Ergometer Cycling in Addition to Regular Rehabilitation During Municipality-based Inpatient Rehabilitation Care (VR-C-REHAB) 20 Exercise-Based Virtual
Clinical Trial NCT07459439 (VR-C-REHAB) is an interventional study for Older Adults (65 Years and Older), Outpatient Treatment, Rehabilitation Frail Elderly Subjects and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on 9 March 2026 and continue until the study accrues 20 participants. Led by Horsholm Municipality, this study is expected to complete by 1 July 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 9 March 2026.
Brief Summary
VR-C-REHAB is a single-group pilot and feasibility study examining the practicality of implementing virtual-reality-assisted ergometer cycling as an adjunct to usual municipal inpatient rehabilitation for older adults (≥65 years). Many individuals admitted to temporary inpatient care present with low physical activity levels and fluctuating motivation, reducing the achievable exercise dose. Virtual reality may enhanc...Show More
Detailed Description
Background and Rationale:
Elderly individuals with diminished physical capacity who are admitted to temporary inpatient rehabilitation often exhibit low levels of physical activity and motivation, which can adversely affect the exercise dose during their stay. Cycling is recognized as a safe and effective form of exercise; however, its implementation is often hindered by low commitment and fluctuating daily energy l...

Primary Outcome Measures
Secondary Outcome Measures
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Exercise Adherence: In percent | Definition: NumbercompletedVR-bicyclessessions/ NumberofferedVR-bicyclesessioner pr. participant, summarised and/or averaged for the entire cohort.
The feasibility goal is set at ≥75%. "Offered sessions" are defined as the planned three weekly sessions during the period the participant is admitted and available, excluding days with clearly documented contraindications or acute illness according to predetermined criteria. The reasons for lack of training will be explicitly described in the manual as "illness," covering biological illness or other admitted causes, and "demotivation," which encompasses reasons such as tiredness, demotivation, or discomfort. The actual cause will be described. | 4 weeks (at every exercise session) |
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
1. Recruitment Rate: Percent | Definition: number whoconsent/ number asked, | Baseline testing (day 0) |
walk speed | 10MWT: M/s
o The time it takes the patient to walk 10 meters with a standing start, using walking aid if needed Measurements are taken at baseline (before the first session) and at completion (at discharge or week 4), converted to m/s. | baseline testing and follow up testing after ending the intervention( up to 4 weeks later) |
Motivation | Motivation: 0-10, 10 indicate highest degree of motivation
o Assessed by measuring the participant's motivation on a 0-10 scale at the start of each exercise session, recorded at the start of every session. | during every session from enrollment until end of intervention (max 4 weeks) |
Total Time Spent Cycling in minutes | Total Time Spent Cycling: Minutes
o Defined as the total bicycle time (minutes) completed with VR during the study period, calculated as the sum of minutes per session. | Week 4 (or after conclusion of the intervention if that happens before) |
