Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility of a larger randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of reminiscence aided physical activity on the balance and mobility of older adults living in long term care. The study uses the jDome BikeAround system, which is a stationary bicycle with a projector screen that runs google earth, as the user bicycles, the map progresses giving the appearance that the user is bicycling through the environment chosen. Half of the participants will use the system during the first 6 week campaign, there will then be a 6 week washout period. Following the washout period, there will be a second 6 week campaign when the other half of the participants will use the jDome BikeAround system.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Scott fall risk of 2-17 (this is the current range used by the Glebe Centre, there have been 0 falls during transportation to the equipment and during each session of the BikeAround system)
Sufficient visual abilities to observe images on the domed screen
Able to comprehend and communicate in English.
Adequate attentional capacity to remain focused on the pedalling task.
Minimum height requirement of 5'2" or 157cm in order to successfully fit the BikeAround system's stationary bike.

Exclusion Criteria

Physical limitations (as determined by the Glebe Centre healthcare/physiotherapy team) that prevent use of the jDome bike.
Cognitive impairment (as determined by the Glebe Centre healthcare/physiotherapy team) Inability to sustain attention Inability to follow one-step commands.
Known behavioural abnormalities (e.g. overly aggressive behavior) that in the opinion of the clinical care team might impede any meaningful participation in the project
Those who are in the opinion of attending physician or clinical team too unwell to participate in the project
Fully unable to complete outcome measures indicated (Section 7, Outcomes)
