Background Older people with chronic musculoskeletal pain are at risk of falls. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exergaming on pain and postural control in older people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Secondary outcomes were technology acceptance, flow experience, perceived physical exertion, expended mental effort and heart rate. Methods Fifty four older adults (age: 71 ± 5 years) with chronic musculoskeletal pain were randomised into 2 groups. Group 1 received exergaming training using the Interactive Rehabilitation and Exercise System (IREX®). Group 2 undertook traditional gym-based exercise (TGB). Both groups completed twice weekly 40-min exercise sessions for 6 weeks. Perceived pain was measured using a numeric pain rating scale and the Multidimensional Affect and Pain Survey questionnaire. Postural control was measured as sway using a Kistler™ force platform. Technology acceptance was measured with the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology questionnaire and flow experience with the Flow State Scale. Physiological measures of perceived physical exertion, expended mental effort and heart rate were recorded during all sessions. Results The exergaming group demonstrated significant reductions in pain intensity and thermal pain including a near significant approach in physical engagement in comparison to TGB group. Although no intervention effects on postural control were found, the exergaming group showed significant improvements in three sway measures (AP SD, ML SD and AP range) over time whereas significant improvements in ML range were found in the TGB group. Relating to technology acceptance, significant intervention effects on social influence and behavioural intention were found in the TGB group instead, although both groups demonstrated increases of acceptance over time. Regarding flow experience, concentration at task was significantly influenced in the TGB group and significant increases in flow variables over time were observed in both groups. Significant increases over time in perceived physical exertion and expended mental effort were found in both groups. Conclusion Our findings support the potential of exergaming to alleviate pain and improve balance in older people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Both forms of exercise are acceptable, intrinsically motivating and show evidence of benefit to older people with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Psoriasis is a common chronic relapsing immune-mediated inflammatory disease, whose prevalence has increased in recent years. Some physicians believe that physical activity is associated with numerous health-related benefits in adults with dermatoses. While numerous studies have suggested an association between psoriasis and physical activity, others have yielded contradictory results. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between the level of physical activity and prevalence of psoriasis.A comprehensive search of the literature was performed from January 1970 to February 2017 using EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials electronic databases. Studies published in English were reviewed to identify the contribution of intensity of physical activity on the prevalence of psoriasis.The search strategy yielded 1100 relevant studies, among which 13 observational studies were included. We found that patients with psoriasis exercise significantly less vigorously than controls (relative risk [RR]: 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.67–0.85; P < .00001). Predominantly, these patients exercised at moderate intensity (RR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.18–0.90; P = .03). Some patients had lesser degree of movement, and some exercised strenuously. There were no significant differences observed in the intensity of exercise performed by controls (RR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.46–1.77; P = .76). The 3 studies found the frequency of regular exercise differed significantly between patients with psoriasis and controls (RR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.82–0.95; P = .0007).Different severities of psoriasis have different influences on patients’ physical activity levels. Patients with a higher proportion of psoriatic lesions and self-awareness were associated with lower-intensity exercises. Our meta-analysis highlights the fact that intense physical activity may lower the prevalence of psoriasis.
