“…Exergaming ensures multiple and targeted repetitions and offers the opportunity to apply home based therapy (37,64,67). The combination of ER with CPT, can contribute to patients' education while promoting physical activity, improving psychomotor behaviors, an thus advances health (68)(69)(70)(71).…”

Differences Between Exergaming Rehabilitation and Conventional Physiotherapy on Quality of Life in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition with both motor and non-motor symptoms affecting the quality of life (QoL) of older adults. Exergaming rehabilitation allows the interaction of the subject with digital games through the implementation of repetitive functional activities. Conventional physiotherapy uses patient-centered programs that include a variety of active exercises. The aim of this review was to look into the effectiveness of exergaming rehabilitation on the QoL of people with PD and compare it with conventional physiotherapy. Five electronic databases were searched for eligible studies until February 2021. For the statistical analysis, the mean, standard deviation, and 95% confidence interval were used to calculate effect sizes between groups. To determine heterogeneity, statistical index I2 was used. A total of 548 participants were included in 14 studies. Exergaming rehabilitation related with improved QoL (p = 0.687, 95% CI: −1.682 to −0.734), balance (p = 0.039, 95% CI: 0.364–13.689), (p = 0.018, 95% CI: 0.446–4.830), and gait (p = 0.005, 95% CI: 0.351–1.924). No significant difference was found between groups regarding the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (p = 0.196, 95% CI: −5.970 to 1.225) and for the Timed Up and Go Test (p = 0.12, 95% CI: 0.446–4.830). Exergames as a rehabilitation method can be used to provide alternative interactive intervention with positive results for QoL in people with PD. Further investigation is needed to assess the effect on mental health in this population group.

“…Users can teleport across the virtual room with a controller instead of walking, which is extremely beneficial for people who have physical disabilities. The room scale can be adjusted to eye height for individuals who need to be seated or are in a wheelchair [ 24 ]. These inherent accessibility elements should be introduced in the design of the VR environment to allow for increased utility.…”

Innovation in medical education is not only inevitable but a requirement. Manikin-based simulation is currently the gold standard for supplemental clinical training; however, this modality requires significant equipment and personnel to operate. Virtual reality (VR) is emerging as a new method of delivering medical simulation sessions that requires less infrastructure but also allows for greater accessibility and flexibility. VR has slowly been integrated into the medical curriculum in some hospitals; however, more widespread adoption would transform the delivery of medical education for future clinicians. This tutorial introduces educators to the BUILD REALITY (begin, use, identify, leverage, define, recreate, educate, adapt, look, identify, test, amplify) framework, a series of practical tips for designing and implementing a VR-based medical simulation environment in their curriculum. The suggestions are based on the relevant literature and the authors’ personal experience in creating and implementing VR environments for medical trainees. Altogether, this paper provides guidance on conducting a needs assessment, setting objectives, designing a VR environment, and incorporating the session into the broader medical curriculum.
