“…AVGs lead to physical activity of mild to moderate intensity, actually improving the level of physical activity [24] and motor skills [20]. This can be explained by the fact that exergames actively provide feedback on the amount of time spent, which increases awareness and self-regulation, encouraging and helping young people to maintain healthy behavior [52], mainly due to the potential for individualization, adaptability and specificity [31].…”

“…On the contrary, negative or antisocial disorders may develop in children due to the excessive use of electronic media [52]; however, if family members monitor and regulate children's behavior by developing rules and participating in activities, this problem can be avoided. It is known that if parents themselves are role models, regulating their own technology-related behaviors, this can also help their children establish controlled use [55].…”

The aim of this study was to synthesize the evidence on the effects of active video games (AVGs) on mental health, physical fitness and body composition of children and adolescents. A search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed; MEDLINE (by Ovid); SportDiscus, Cochrane library systematic reviews (CENTRAL) and EMBASE with no language restrictions during October 2020. Reviews on the use of AVGs were included in the study. We use the AMSTAR (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews) scale to analyze the methodological quality of the studies. Seventeen systematic reviews and meta-analyzes were included on the effects of AVGs with 30 to 4728 children and adolescents of both sexes with ages ranging from 6 to 19 years. In five studies, the population was overweight or obese. Regarding the quality, 12 studies were of moderate quality, two had high quality, two had low quality and one showed very low quality. The analyzed data indicate that the use of AVGs with a frequency of 1 to 3 times a week with durations of between 10 and 90 min per day shows positive effects on mental health and physical functioning. There was moderate quality evidence that AVGs can result in benefits for self-esteem, increased energy expenditure, physical activity and reduced body mass index in children and adolescents who used AVGs in the home environment. Further research is needed on this tool to help in the process of social isolation and consequently in promoting health and well-being.

“…The use of exergames in reducing pain and improving the quality of life has good results in women with fibromyalgia [ 51 ]. Cacciata et al [ 52 ] found that the improvement of health-related quality of life in participants with high adherence to exergaming and those in a center-based setting appeared to have the most promising effects. Collado-Mateo et al [ 53 ] emphasized that VR training may be useful in reducing musculoskeletal pain, but more detailed research is needed on specific disease entities.…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common health problem leading to pain, limitation in physical function, a decrease in the quality of life and disability. OA affects 60–70% of the population above 65 years of age all over the world, and is associated with a high cost of healthcare. The main method of treatment of OA, apart from pharmacotherapy and surgery, is comprehensive rehabilitation. Advances in medical technology have resulted in the possibility of using computer-assisted interventions in rehabilitation. The present narrative review is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in the rehabilitation of elderly patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis, including patients after arthroplasty. This literature review based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was carried out in five databases: PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus and PEDro. It includes ten randomized controlled trials focused on the application of games and biofeedback in the rehabilitation of patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis. There are no conclusive reports that interventions based on VR are more effective than standard physical therapy. Moreover, evidence regarding patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is very scarce. The effectiveness of VR-based rehabilitation is unclear, although interventions based on VR are promising in view of pain management, postural and proprioception training. However, this evidence is not sufficient to create clinical guidelines and further high-quality studies are needed.

“…Entre el 2017-19, se observó un cambio en la aplicación del tratamiento con el adulto mayor, al enfocar juegos y mini-juegos, basados en las experiencias cotidianas y encaminados a situaciones parecidas, muy ligadas a la realidad; Morbeck et al, (2017), abarcaron entre las características, los abordajes de tratamiento de la estabilidad, el control de caídas la estabilidad de los miembros inferiores y la capacidad de reacción ante estímulos. (Pelisser et al,2017;Chih-Kuang, et al, 2018;Cacciata et al,2019;De Castro, C.C., et al, 2019).…”

RESUMEN: Objetivo: Determinar la prescripción del ejercicio en un programa realizado con realidad virtual (RV) para adultos mayores. Materiales y métodos: se realizó búsqueda de artículos con las palabras clave “virtual reality”, “physical therapy”, “Exergames”, “Healthy”, “Older people”, “Exercise”, en los buscadores Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Google Académico y Base de datos Escuela de Ingeniería de Antioquia –EIA. En el criterio de inclusión de los artículos, se tuvo en cuenta: intensidad, frecuencia, tiempo, tipos de juegos y resultados. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 40 artículos, que permitieron evidenciar la prescripción del ejercicio en RV en adultos mayores. Conclusión: En la prescripción del ejercicio en la realidad virtual se puede indicar que las sesiones de trabajo deben durar entre 30 a 50 minutos, frecuencia semanal de 3 a 5 veces/semana; se propone realizar 3 a 5 series de 8 a 20 repeticiones con una intensidad inicial del 30% hasta un 75% de la frecuencia cardiaca máxima.
