Popis: Exergaming is a promising technology for the elderly to achieve balance training requirements. This paper investigates the acceptance of a tailored exergame (Indian context), termed as Therapeutic Stepping Exergame (TSE). The key constructs and the intercorrelation between these constructs contributing in the intention of using it from the consumer context (Indian elderly, N = 27, age: 66.44 ± 5.84 years (mean ± SD)) are done using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model and Spearman Correlation analysis. The study used UTAUT2 questionnaire and a semi-structured open-ended questionnaire. The descriptive statistics score for Behavioral Intention (BI) is 4.96 ± 0.107, indicating the high user acceptance of TSE for their balance training. Perform Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Facilitating Conditions (FC), Hedonistic Motivation (HM), Price Value (PV), Habit (H), and BI to use TSE are identified as the Key constructs. The results indicate a strong significant positive relationship between PE, EE, FC, HM, to BI; and moderately strong positive correlations between H, PV, to BI to use of TSE at p
