Brief Summary

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

This study compares the effects of cardiological rehabilitation enhanced with virtual reality (VR) versus conventional rehabilitation methods. It assesses the impact on both psychological parameters (including depression, stress, anxiety, and kinesiophobia) and physiological and functional parameters of cardiology patients. The aim is to analyze the efficacy and benefits of VR-supported rehabilitation in improving patients' mental and physical health compared to traditional methods.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will involve elderly female patients aged 60 and above who present sequentially at the Rehabilitation Department of St. Hedwig of Silesia Hospital in Trzebnica (Poland) within three months following hip joint arthroplasty surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A, the Virtual Reality Group, will receive 8 therapy sessions, with two sessions per week; Group B, the Control Group, will undergo conventional rehabilitation.

Immersive Virtual Reality Therapy

Conventional orthopedic rehabilitation supplemented by VR therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Immersive Virtual Reality Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

8 sessions of VR therapy over 4 weeks (each of them 20 minutes long).

As a virtual reality source, VRTierOne device (Stolgraf®) were used. Thanks to using head mounted display and the phenomenon of total immersion VR therapy provides an intense visual, auditory and kinesthetic stimulation. It can have a calming and mood-improving effect or help the patients recognize their psychological resources and motivate to the rehabilitation process. In the virtual therapeutic garden there are a rich set of symbols and metaphors based on Ericksonian Psychotherapy approach. The most important is the Garden of Revival which symbolizes the patient's health. It used to be full of life and energy, now it is neglected, requires work to be revived. In the therapeutic process day by day, the therapist tells the patient a symbolic story about his/her situation.
