MR-based performance tests for overweight and obesity

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study compares mixed reality–based adaptations of functional mobility tests, developed on the Meta Quest 3 platform, with standard clinical measures. It aims to determine the validity and reliability of MR-based assessments for overweight and obese adults. Participants will perform both MR and traditional tests such as the 6-minute walk and Timed Up and Go, with data collected automatically in MR environments. The study will explore how visual and vestibular aspects of MR impact performance and how well MR outcomes align with conventional measures. Lead by Selcuk University in Konya, the project seeks standardized, interactive assessment options for mobility in this population.
