“…Only three articles explored HFS technology use in the resilience phase. [25][26][27] Two studies on computational virtual reality analytics simulation and computational visual analytics simulation were previously discussed. 25,26 The third analyzed the virtual reality leap motion control simulation, and includes virtual reality games used in neurorehabilitation and provides the user with biofeedback to permit the training of fine motor tasks to improve hand function.…”

“…In fact, the integration of systems such as Leap Motion could solve the analysis of finger movements. Although the studies reviewed by Pererira et al (2020) [19] implemented hand movement tracking, none took advantage of this feature, with the exception of Wu et al's [21] work, which used Leap Motion for validation of wrist flexion and extension and radial and ulnar deviation. Therefore, although the current study has not been able to contribute to this aspect, we identify that further work is needed in this area.…”

“…However, the development of purpose-built VR games allows one to provide task-oriented exercises, and visual and auditory feedback regarding the performance of the patient's PA [19], which could lead to neuromuscular reeducation and functional improvement [20]. The studies of Wu et al (2019) [21] and Tarakci, E. et al (2019) [22] evaluated the effectiveness and feasibility of their VR solutions for hand and upper extremity rehabilitation, respectively, using Leap Motion, a commercial device that enables hand recognition. Their findings pointed out that movements learned in VR environments can be transferred to real-world equivalent tasks in most cases, and that VR engages the player to increase the rehabilitation intensity.…”

Patients with upper limb disorders are limited in their activities of daily living and impose an important healthcare burden due to the repetitive rehabilitation they require. A way to reduce this burden is through home-based therapy using virtual reality solutions, since they are readily available, provide immersion, and enable accurate motion tracking, and custom applications can be developed for them. However, there is lack of guidelines for the design of effective VR rehabilitation applications in the literature, particularly for bimanual training. This work introduces a VR telerehabilitation system that uses off-the-shelf hardware, a real-time remote setup, and a bimanual training application that aims to improve upper extremity motor function. It is made of six activities and was evaluated by five physiotherapists specialised in (2) neuromotor disorders and (3) functional rehabilitation and occupational therapy. A descriptive analysis of the results obtained from the System Usability Scale test of the application and a collection of qualitative assessments of each game have been carried out. The application obtained a mean score of 86.25 (±8.96 SD) in the System Usability Scale, and the experts concluded that it accurately reproduces activities of daily living movements except for wrist and finger movements. They also offer a set of design guidelines.

“…Due to a nationwide delivery system of emergency and acute medical care, only 15 deaths were ultimately caused by the catastrophic color-dust explosion. Our research revealed that active rehabilitation therapy in survivors has been proven helpful for restoring normal function and for preventing limitation of activities and functional impairment [ 11 ]. Nevertheless, aggressive burn care with fluid and nutritional supplementation; appropriate use of analgesics and antibiotics; and surgeries, including wound debridement and skin grafts, is critical for patients in the early stages of major burn injury.…”

Additional Vitamin and Mineral Support for Patients with Severe Burns: A Nationwide Experience from a Catastrophic Color-Dust Explosion Event in Taiwan

Major burn injuries, which encompass ≥20% of the total body surface area (TBSA), are the most severe form of trauma because of the stress response they provoke, which includes hypermetabolism, muscle wasting, and stress-induced diabetes. In 2015, a color-dust explosion disaster occurred in the Formosa Fun Coast of Taiwan and injured 499 people, who were transferred via a nationwide emergency delivery system. Some recommendations are currently available regarding vitamin and mineral support for wound healing and recovery in severe burns, but there is a lack of evidence to confirm the benefits. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the effects of additional vitamin and mineral support for patients with severe burn injuries. Sixty-one hospitalized individuals with major burns (full thickness and ≥20% TBSA) were classified into the supplement (n = 30) and control (n = 31) groups, according to whether they received supplementation with additional vitamins, calcium, and magnesium. There were significant differences between the supplement and control groups in the incidence of wound infection (30.0% vs. 77.4%, p < 0.001), sepsis (13.3% vs. 41.9%, p = 0.021), and hospitalization days (51.80 vs. 76.81, p = 0.025). After adjustment, logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared to those in the control group, patients in the supplement group had a lower risk for wound infection (OR 0.11; 95% CI 0.03–0.43; p = 0.002) and sepsis (OR 0.09; 95% CI 0.01–0.61; p = 0.014). Supplementation of multiple vitamins, calcium, and magnesium reduced the risk of wound infection and sepsis, shortened the time of hospitalization, and can be considered for use in major burns.
