Abstract：
Aging entails changes in the human body, generating a decrease in physical capabilities, including the risk of falls. New therapies are currently emerging for the risk of falls and immersive virtual reality is one of them, giving the user a realistic feeling of a virtual environment. This systematic review aims to investigate the effects of immersive virtual reality on the risk of falling in older people. Randomized controlled clinical trials were included, with at least one intervention group that used immersive virtual reality, age >60 years and without multiple serious pathologies. Articles published until November 2023 were included, in accordance with the PRISMA guideline and including the PICO strategy, in the electronic databases PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, Semantic Scholar and Science Direct. From a total of 413 articles, 7 studies were selected, which met the pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the studies reviewed, the majority found significant improvements in tests that measure risk of falls, only one study did not find improvements in this variable but did find improvements for walking speed and functional reach test. Despite the limited literature, it seems that these interventions can have a positive effect, becoming a good tool to reduce the risk of falling in older people.
摘要：
衰老需要人体的变化，导致身体能力下降，包括跌倒的风险。目前正在出现针对跌倒风险的新疗法，沉浸式虚拟现实就是其中之一，为用户提供虚拟环境的真实感。本系统综述旨在研究沉浸式虚拟现实对老年人跌倒风险的影响。包括随机对照临床试验，至少有一个使用沉浸式虚拟现实的干预小组，年龄>60岁，没有多个严重的疾病。包括直到2023年11月发布的文章，根据PRISMA指南，包括PICO战略，在PubMed的电子数据库中，Scielo,Scopus,语义学者和科学直接。从总共413篇文章中，选择了7项研究，符合预先设定的纳入和排除标准。在审查的研究中，大多数人发现测量跌倒风险的测试有了显著的改善，只有一项研究没有发现该变量的改善,但发现了步行速度和功能到达测试的改善.尽管文献有限，这些干预措施似乎可以产生积极的影响，成为降低老年人跌倒风险的好工具。
