Children with upper limb motor impairment often undergo repetitive therapeutic physiotherapy sessions to minimize functional disabilities of the affected area. Even though therapeutic processes can improve functional outcomes and minimize persistent disabilities, patients often neglect to participate fully in physical therapies due to the associated procedural pain. Over recent decades, there has been a growing interest in designing non-pharmacological interventions which aim to minimize pain during physical therapies and improve functional outcomes. Via two interrelated studies, we explored the use of virtual reality (VR) as a tool to provide therapeutic physiotherapy for child patients in an out-patient hospital department. We found that VR is an effective solution for children with upper limb motor impairment undergoing painful therapeutic process within a hospital environment. VR can improve functional disabilities, alleviate perceived pain, reduce the perceived difficulty of rehabilitation exercises, increase exercise duration and produce positive emotions towards the therapy.

消除疼痛:为上肢运动障碍儿童设计虚拟现实物理疗法

患有上肢运动障碍的儿童经常接受重复的治疗性物理治疗,以尽量减少受影响区域的功能障碍。尽管治疗过程可以改善功能结果并最大限度地减少持续性残疾,但由于相关的手术疼痛,患者常常忽视充分参与物理治疗。近几十年来,人们对设计非药物干预措施越来越感兴趣,旨在最大限度地减少物理治疗期间的疼痛并改善功能结果。通过两项相互关联的研究,我们探索了使用虚拟现实 (VR) 作为工具为门诊医院科室的儿童患者提供治疗性物理治疗。我们发现,对于在医院环境中经历痛苦治疗过程的上肢运动障碍儿童来说,VR 是一种有效的解决方案。VR可以改善功能障碍,减轻感知疼痛,降低康复练习的感知难度,增加运动持续时间,产生对治疗的积极情绪。
