What this Trial Is About
Patients admitted to the ICU due to critical illness often experience physical, mental, cognitive, or social issues. Research indicates that inadequate physical recovery is associated with lower handgrip strength, and hand function in ICU patients is lower compared to healthy individuals. To address this, a Virtual Reality (VR) exergame was developed to aid rehabilitation. This study aims to investigate the effect of a 4-week VR-exergame intervention on handgrip strength, hand and arm functionality, balance, mobility, and support needs in ICU patients staying for 48 hours or longer. It is a multicenter mixed-methods randomized controlled trial involving adult ICU patients. The intervention involves a 4-week VR-exergame program. Main study parameters include handgrip strength, hand and arm functionality, range of motion, balance, mobility, and support needs. The burden and risks associated with participation are minimal, as VR-based exercises are deemed safe and voluntary. Overall, the study aims to assess the effect of incorporating VR-based rehabilitation into standard care for ICU patients.
