“…For example, patients with burns or chronic disability may have a tendency to fall into depression because of the long course of the disorder. The use of VR can release psychological stress and reduce their fear of pain [19].…”

“…However, at present, there is less evidence on the therapeutic effect of VR on patients with musculoskeletal system disorder [14,15,16,17,18]. In addition, studies have shown that VR is beneficial in pain management, for example, in pain relief during dressing changes of burn patients [19]. VR can also reduce anxiety, distract from the fear of pain, and alleviate stress [20].…”

To assess the effects of virtual reality on patients with musculoskeletal disorders by means of a scoping review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The databases included PubMed, IEEE, and the MEDLINE database. Articles involving RCTs with higher than five points on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale were reviewed for suitability and inclusion. The methodological quality of the included RCT was evaluated using the PEDro scale. The three reviewers extracted relevant information from the included studies. Fourteen RCT articles were included. When compared with simple usual care or other forms of treatment, there was significant pain relief, increased functional capacity, reduced symptoms of the disorder, and increased joint angles for the virtual reality treatment of chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Furthermore, burn patients with acute pain were able to experience a significant therapeutic effect on pain relief. However, virtual reality treatment of patients with non-chronic pain such as total knee replacement, ankle sprains, as well as those who went through very short virtual reality treatments, did not show a significant difference in parameters, as compared with simple usual care and other forms of treatment. Current evidence supports VR treatment as having a significant effect on pain relief, increased joint mobility, or motor function of patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. VR seems quite effective in relieving the pain of patients with acute burns as well.

“…VR has been used in numerous biomedical applications from surgical training to medical education, and from psychiatric to motor rehabilitation. Such applications for patient care include the treatment of acute and chronic pain [14,15,16,17,18], specific phobias [19,20], and post-traumatic stress disorder [20,21]. Among several other applications, VR has been successfully used in cognitive and physical rehabilitation after stroke [22,23] and traumatic brain injury [24].…”

Immersive virtual reality has recently developed into a readily available system that allows for full-body tracking. Can this affordable system be used for component tracking to advance or replace expensive kinematic systems for motion analysis in the clinic? The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of position and orientation measures from Vive wireless body trackers when compared to Vicon optoelectronic tracked markers attached to (1) a robot simulating trunk flexion and rotation by repeatedly moving to know locations, and (2) healthy adults playing virtual reality games necessitating significant trunk displacements. The comparison of both systems showed component tracking with Vive trackers is accurate within 0.68 ± 0.32 cm translationally and 1.64 ± 0.18° rotationally when compared with a three-dimensional motion capture system. No significant differences between Vive trackers and Vicon systems were found suggesting the Vive wireless sensors can be used to accurately track joint motion for clinical and research data.

“…One of the early clinical applications of VR to burn care was to act as an analgesic during frequent, repetitive, and painfully invasive dressing changes (Hoff-man, Doctor, Patterson, Carrougher, & Furness, 2000). VR has since been used as a form of cognitive distraction from pain associated with other etiologies as well as burn injuries; to date there have been more than 50 published reports or reviews on the clinical effectiveness of VR distraction analgesia (see reviews by Hoffman et al, 2011; Mahrer & Gold, 2009; Scapin et al, in press; Triberti, Repetto, & Riva, 2014).…”

Objective: We conducted a randomized controlled study to determine the effects of virtual reality (VR) distraction on pain and range of motion (ROM) in patients hospitalized for burn care during active physical therapy exercises. Method: Thirty-nine participants aged 15 to 66 (M = 36) years with significant burn injuries (mean burn size 14% TBSA) participated. Under therapist supervision, using a within-subjects design, participants performed unassisted active ROM exercises both with and without VR distraction in a randomized order. Therapists provided participants with instructions but did not physically assist with stretches. Maximum active ROM was measured using a goniometer. A 0 –100 Graphic Rating Scale (GRS) was used to assess the cognitive, affective, and sensory components of pain. A GRS rating of the amount of “fun” during stretching served as a measure of positive experience. Results: Participants reported lower mean GRS ratings during VR, relative to No VR, for worst pain, pain unpleasantness, and time spent thinking about pain. They also reported having a more positive experience during VR than during No VR. However, patients did not show greater ROM during VR. Conclusion: Immersive VR reduced pain during ROM exercises that were under the control of the patient.
