Purpose: This study compared the effects of inpatient-based rehabilitation program patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using non-immersive virtual reality (VR) training a traditional program. The aims this were to determine 1) whether featuring both VR as well exercise provides benefits over (ET) alone and 2) instead equivalent benefits. Patients Methods: recruited 106 COPD 2-week high-intensity, five times week intervention. Randomized into three groups, 34...

Virtual reality (VR), also called phantomatics, is an image of artificial created entirely in three-dimensional graphics with the use information technology. VR makes it possible to experience imaginary world as if was real, where sensory data are delivered brain through a specialized system. The purpose virtual medicine minimize direct contact and impact on human body during treatment. Taking into consideration increasing accessibility high quality electronic devices, their immense...

Anxiety has been estimated to occur in 21–96% and depression 27–79% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). We found a scarcity literature providing evidence on how virtual reality (VR) therapy affects the intensity depressive anxiety symptoms stress levels COPD undergoing in-hospital rehabilitation (PR). This study enrolled 50 stress, depression, anxiety, randomly assigned one two groups. The groups participated traditional PR programme additionally: VR-group...

The aim of this study was to test a model that takes into account self-esteem and perceived social support as potential mediators the relationship between resilience emotional regulation. involved 251 adolescents aged 14 19 years (M = 16.85). procedure consisted completing paper-and-pencil questionnaires measure resilience, self-esteem, answer questions about Bootstrap sampling analysis showed statistically significant serial mediation (B 0.030; p < 0.001). As result analysis, positive...

Forms of rehabilitation for patients after COVID-19 are gaining interest. The purpose this study was to investigate and compare an innovative in-hospital pulmonary programs augmented with training elements performed in virtual reality. This randomized controlled included 32 enrolled post-COVID-19 at a Public Hospital Poland. models exercise capacity on cycle ergometer, breathing general fitness workout, resistance training, relaxation. forms relaxation differed between the groups:...
