Table 3. Effects of VirtualEx-FM on fear of falling in the exergame and control groups (n = 76).
| Fearless EG (fear of falling < 50; n = 28) | Fearless CG (fear of falling < 50; n = 27) | Difference between intervention (virtual minus control)* | P-value interactiona | Effect size | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-intervention, mean (SD) | Post-intervention, mean (SD) | Pre-intervention, mean (SD) | Post-intervention, mean (SD) | ||||
| Fear of falling | 8.75 (12.29) | 10.53 (18.97) | 14.44 (14.76) | 21.85 (25.87) | −5.62 (−16.09–4.85) | 0.287 | 0.28 |
