Abstract:
Objective:To develop a virtual reality (VR) exercise rehabilitation system for home-based patients with spinal cord injury, and test patients' acceptance and experience.Methods:The VR exercise rehabilitation system for home-based patients with spinal cord injury was developed by a multidisciplinary team based on the home rehabilitation needs, evidence, and clinical experience of spinal cord injury patients, and further improved after recommendations from experts and patients. From February to July 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 148 patients with spinal cord injuries admitted to the Department of Spinal Cord and Neurological Function Reconstruction at the China Rehabilitation Research Center. Acceptance Questionnaire was used to investigate patients' acceptance of the system. Thirteen patients with spinal cord injuries were selected for semi-structured interviews to explore the themes of their experiences using VR exercise rehabilitation system for home-based patients with spinal cord injury.Results:A VR exercise rehabilitation system for home-based patients with spinal cord injury was developed, which includes four aspects of personal profile, personal assessment, training selection, and care knowledge. The total acceptance score of this system among 148 patients was (87.69±1.59). Through semi-structured interviews, three themes were identified involving excellent experience, expectation of rehabilitation effects, satisfaction with functionality and hope for continuous system updates.Conclusions:The design of VR exercise rehabilitation system for home-based patients with spinal cord injury is scientifically reasonable, which can further verify the rehabilitation effect of the system.
