Abstract
China is currently experiencing rapid population aging, leading to a significant expansion of the elderly demographic. This aging process is accompanied by cognitive, motor, and sensory function decline and diseases, resulting in an increasing number of elderly individuals with disabilities. To address this challenge, extended reality technology offers a personalized, motivating, and human-computer interactive training environment that can effectively tackle the obstacles hindering active health and disability prevention in the elderly, such as inadequate infrastructure and motivation. This review summarized the current research status and effectiveness of extended reality technology in preventing disability among the elderly. Additionally, the review discusses the limitations and future prospects of extended reality technology in the context of elderly disability prevention, aiming to provide guidance for preventing disability in the elderly and promoting healthy aging.
