Abstract
Exergames are currently used as a new tool for medical purposes. In this context, this paper presents an overview of the approaches used to gather evidence about the use and impact of exergames-based interventions on elderly. In total, 2306 abstracts were returned from a database search, yielding 52 relevant papers. Our analysis found a group of papers mostly published in engineering forums with emphasis on evaluating novel technologies and an evaluation providing low-evidence, another group of studies, published mostly in medical journals, use more conventional technologies, but conduct more comprehensive evaluations from which stronger evidence is obtained.
