Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of virtual reality on physiological factors (heart rate, blood pressure) in stroke patients and the psychometric properties of the Virtual Reality Sickness Questionnaire in assessing Motion Sickness resulting from virtual reality use.

Detailed Description

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

Despite the proven advantages of virtual reality approximately 30% of users report nausea and up to 40% experience eye strain as a result of prolonged exposure to virtual environments and simulators. These problems are referred to as motion sickness (MS) a side effect of virtual reality use.

The Motion Sickness Assessment Questionnaire (MSAQ) and the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ), which evaluates the symptoms under four titles (gastrointestinal, central, peripheral and fatigue), are used in the literature to evaluate this effect. However, these questionnaires may not be sufficient to assess the MS symptoms that develop after virtual reality (VR) applications. Because MS symptoms occur differently in VR and simulation systems. For this reason, the Virtual Reality Sickness Questionnaire (VRSQ) was developed by Kim and his colleagues to evaluate the symptoms that occur after virtual reality. The Turkish validity and reliability of the VRSQ, which consists of 9 questions, was also conducted by Cetin and his friends.

The aim of this study to investigate how virtual reality affects physiological factors (heart rate, blood pressure) in stroke patients and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Virtual Reality Sickness Questionnaire in assessing VR-induced motion sickness.

Study Groups

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

Stroke Group

Roller Coaster application

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will experience a 15-minute roller coaster virtual reality (VR) for three consecutive days, once a day. During this study, the virtual reality application will be performed while sitting in a chair and while fixed to the chair. The practitioner will be present with the participant throughout the VR application.

Healthy Group

Roller Coaster application

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will experience a 15-minute roller coaster virtual reality (VR) for three consecutive days, once a day. During this study, the virtual reality application will be performed while sitting in a chair and while fixed to the chair. The practitioner will be present with the participant throughout the VR application.
