Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality (VR) headset, Augmented Reality (AR) Headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology-based distraction) for improving clinical outcomes in patients requiring acute rehabilitation due to deconditioning and surgery. Measures will include include range of motion, gait progression, strength progression, time to first out of bed, time to first step.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Technology-based therapy

Patients who require acute rehabilitation due to deconditioning and surgery will receive either virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) to improve clinical outcomes such as range of motion, gait progression, strength progression, time to first out of bed, time to first step.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality Headset

Intervention Type OTHER

A virtual reality (VR) headset is a device the participant will wear over his/her head and eyes like a pair of goggles. It blocks out all external light and shows him/her an image on high-definition screens in front of his/hers eyes. It implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out the physical world.

Augmented reality (AR) headset is a device that the participant will wear over his/hers head and eyes and it adds digital elements to a live view.

Standard of Care therapy

Patients who require acute rehabilitation due to deconditioning and surgery will receive physical therapy based on his/her providers recommendations to improve outcomes such as range of motion, gait progression, strength progression, time to first out of bed, time to first step

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
