Bridging Needs and Expectations of Individuals With Physical Disabilities and Community Services Stakeholders for the Cocreation of an Adapted Physical Activity Platform in Virtual Reality: Qualitative Study.
Article in JMIR serious games, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Physical activity supports the health and well-being of individuals with physical disabilities. Despite the significance of engaging in physical activity, barriers faced by individuals with disabilities, such as limited access to adapted facilities and lack of transportation, can restrict their participation. Community organizations play a role in addressing these challenges, but virtual reality (VR) also offers a way to diversify adapted activities. In some situations, VR can help overcome the resource limitations of organizations by providing accessible, engaging, and highly personalized options for physical activity. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the needs and expectations of individuals with physical disabilities and their interventionists for the use of a VR physical activity platform in a community organization. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted using semistructured interviews with individuals with physical disabilities and their interventionists, all associated with a nonprofit organization promoting physical activity among people with disabilities. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic approach. Results: In total, 15 participants, including 8 people with physical disabilities and 7 interventionists, were interviewed. Through this discussion, we gained insights into the everyday challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and identified priorities for community organizations. Subsequently, we discussed key considerations for using VR, including adapting activities, the possibility of fostering a more positive perception of physical activity, and harnessing the potential of VR to improve access to physical activity. We also discussed the importance of supporting personal goals and creating inclusive experiences while recognizing challenges such as technical difficulties and connectivity issues. Conclusions: By exploring the needs and expectations regarding VR technology from individuals with physical disabilities and their interventionists, this study provided essential insights for integrating immersive and nonimmersive VR into community organizations, informing next steps for the design of adapted physical activities in VR.
