This study follows the successfully completed HOLOBalance project which was funded by the EU Horizon 2020 scheme. TheHOLOBalance platform delivers exercises demonstrated via a hologram of the physiotherapist and corrected in real time by the hologram prompts based on performance monitoring via sensors. Further information is available at: https://holobalance.eu/. HOLOBalance was developed as a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol for individualised remote (tele)rehabilitation balance physiotherapy programme. It includes different multisensory balance and gait exercises, physical activity and memory training and exergames (video games which are also exercises) to improve balance function in older adults. The system can thus assess and remotely monitor how users are performing the exercises. This pilot testing of a multisite randomised control trial (TeleRehab DSS, short for TeleRehabilitation Decision Support System) aims to investigating the usability and feasibility among a smaller sample population at each clinical site, identifying any technical bugs, and/or clinical procedural flaws to be remedied before delivery of the full-scale RCT.
