Plain-English translation of NCT07654439 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
Researchers are developing new ways to measure how well people with overweight or obesity can move and perform everyday physical activities—like standing up from a chair or walking—using virtual reality headsets. This study will check whether these virtual reality tests are accurate and reliable compared to traditional in-person assessments, and whether they could eventually be used for remote testing at home.
People with overweight or obesity have different body mechanics and movement patterns than other groups, so tests developed for the general population may not work the same way for them. This study aims to create safe, standardized, and potentially remote ways to measure physical performance specifically designed for this population.

You will visit the research center and complete standard movement tests (like the Timed Up and Go Test, a 4-meter walk, and sitting-to-standing movements) while wearing a virtual reality headset to see how the virtual version compares to the traditional way. You'll also have your leg strength and hand grip strength measured. The study will help researchers understand whether virtual reality testing could be a safe and accurate option for people with overweight or obesity.
