Abstract: Objective: To comprehensively assess the extent of research exploring the utilization of exergames in elderly individuals with cognitive impairment, and to delve into their practical viability and the ensuing outcomes. Methods: Utilizing a scoping review approach, a systematic search was conducted in both Chinese and English databases, spanning from their inception up to August 10, 2023. The retrieved studies were then consolidated and subjected to rigorous analysis. Results: A compilation of 24 articles were included in this review. The intervention contents of exergames were divided into four types: exergames based on physical or cognitive training, physical cognitive dual-task exergames and physical combined cognitive exergames. The intervention frequency was mostly 3 times a week, and the duration was mainly 12 weeks. Exergames are highly feasible and safe, and no major adverse events have been reported. To a certain extent, exergames can improve the cognitive function, physical function, mental health and quality of life of the elderly with cognitive impairment. Conclusion: This review indicates that the employment of exergames in elderly individuals with cognitive impairment is indeed feasible and yields positive outcomes. However, future research endeavors should strive to refine the design of such interventions, aiming to further enhance the effectiveness of exergames in this population.
