That said, given the increase in the longevity of people, it will be helpful to implement these resources in promoting health and disease prevention in the elderly. The objective of this study is to identify, in the scientific evidence, the effects of Wii games on the physical training of the elderly. Methods: A systematic review will be carried out according to the methodology recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Relevant databases will be used for the research, where the words will be used: rehabilitation, exercise, physical activity, rehabilitation exercise; movement; therapeutic exercise; engine activity; rehabilitation, geriatric, gerontologic care, and aged. Results: This systematic review will include experimental and quasi-experimental studies, including randomised studies with and without a control group, pre- and post-assessment. Conclusions: To promote the autonomy of the elderly and consequently healthy and prosperous ageing, it is crucial to implement all available measures and resources. For this purpose, exergames have been shown to be effective, and it is necessary to know which ones are suitable for the physical training of the elderly. This one protocol is registered with the Open Science Framework.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biomedinformatics3010005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,12]],"date-time":"2023-01-12T05:45:33Z","timestamp":1673502333000},"page":"73-81","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Efficacy of the Use of Wii Games in the Physical and Functional Training of the Elderly: Protocol of a Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7535-9040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreia","family":"Lima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Health Technologies and Services (CINTESIS), Higher School of Health Fernando Pessoa (ESS-FP), Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto (FMUP), 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2554-697X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Teresa","family":"Moreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Health Technologies and Services (CINTESIS), Higher School of Health Fernando Pessoa, 4200-253 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1685-9891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Salom\u00e9","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA:E), Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo (IPVC), 4900-347 Viana do Castelo, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0050-5004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edtor","family":"Parola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA:E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), Portugal Centre for Evidence-Based Practice: A Joanna Briggs Institute Centre of Excellence, 3000-232 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6059-9308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"D\u00e1rcio Tadeu","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing School, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-060, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4974-0611","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria do Perp\u00e9tuo","family":"N\u00f3brega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing School, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-060, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7251-5829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Health Technologies and Services (CINTESIS), Porto Higher School of Nursing, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tan, J., Kumar, R., and Ralph, P.
