“…Concerning safety, no musculoskeletal events of CTCAE version 3.0> Grade 2 occurred over 200 patient-days during 88 sessions. Although the adverse event profile was comparable with conventional exercise in acute myeloid leukemia patients, which showed only one Grade 2 musculoskeletal adverse event during 600 patient-days (6), a few serious incidents such as bone fracture (22) and hemothorax (23) have been previously reported, and we should therefore take care to avoid the occurrence of such events.…”

Objective Adherence to rehabilitation exercise is much lower in patients with hematologic malignancies (22.5-45.8%) than in patients with solid tumors (60-85%) due to the administration of more intensive chemotherapeutic regimens in the former. Virtual reality exercise can be performed even in a biological clean room and it may improve the adherence rates in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies. Thus, in this pilot study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of virtual reality exercise intervention using Nintendo Wii Fit in patients with hematologic malignancies receiving chemotherapy. Methods In this feasibility study, 16 hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies aged ! 60 years performed virtual reality exercise for 20 minutes using the Nintendo Wii Fit once a day, five times a week, from the start of chemotherapy until hospital discharge. The adherence rate, safety, and physical and psychological performances were assessed. Results The adherence rate for all 16 patients was 66.5%. Nine patients completed the virtual reality exercise intervention with 88 sessions, and the adherence rate was 62.0%. No intervention-related adverse effects >Grade 2, according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0, were observed. We noted maintenance of the physical performance (e.g., Barthel index, handgrip strength, knee extension strength, one-leg standing time, and the scores of timed up and go test and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) and psychosocial performance (e.g., score of hospital anxiety and depression scale). Conclusion Virtual reality exercise using the Wii Fit may be feasible, safe and efficacious, as demonstrated in our preliminary results, for patients with hematologic malignancies receiving chemotherapy.

“…The risk of injury from Wii play is not negligible; case reports of recreational Wii play have described various fractures, 62,63 tendinitis, 64 and even a traumatic hemothorax. 65 Thus, further research is needed to delineate the safety of video game therapy in the ICU.…”

Acquired Neuromuscular Weakness and Early Mobilization in the Intensive Care Unit

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Survival from critical illness has improved in recent years, leading to increased attention to the sequelae of such illness. Neuromuscular weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU) is common, persistent, and has significant public health implications. The differential diagnosis of weakness in the ICU is extensive and includes critical illness neuromyopathy. Prolonged immobility and bedrest lead to catabolism and muscle atrophy, and are associated with critical illness neuromyopathy and ICU-acquired weakness. Early mobilization therapy has been advocated as a mechanism to prevent ICU-acquired weakness. Early mobilization is safe and feasible in most ICU patients, and improves outcomes. Implementation of early mobilization therapy requires changes in ICU culture, including decreased sedation and bedrest. Various technologies exist to increase compliance with early mobilization programs. Drugs targeting muscle pathways to decrease atrophy and muscle-wasting are in development. Additional research on early mobilization in the ICU is needed.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The first published case of Wii related trauma was a paediatric forehead laceration described by Wells. 6 Other reports of injury associated with the Wii included patellar dislocation ('Wii Knee'), 3,4 traumatic 5 and acute tendonitis of the infraspinatus muscle (described by Bonis as 'Wiiitis'). 10 Prior to this study, few of the previously published reports documenting Wii related injury have described the type of game played at the time of injury.…”
