“…The existing literature provides guidance for safety and ethical considerations in clinical VR research [ 30 - 33 ], although there is a general lack of focus on design and development processes for using VR in ABI rehabilitation [ 34 , 35 ]. Some prior studies have proposed useful recommendations for implementing VR in health care and rehabilitation research; however, they are often specific to a particular VR system or do not focus on ABI [ 36 - 38 ]. Given the potentially limited applicability of these recommendations for designing and implementing VR in ABI rehabilitation, developing a set of recommendations would be beneficial for guiding research in this field.…”

Recommendations for the Design and Implementation of Virtual Reality for Acquired Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Systematic Review

et al. 2021

Background Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly being used for the assessment and treatment of impairments arising from acquired brain injuries (ABIs) due to perceived benefits over traditional methods. However, no tailored options exist for the design and implementation of VR for ABI rehabilitation and, more specifically, traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation. In addition, the evidence base lacks systematic reviews of immersive VR use for TBI rehabilitation. Recommendations for this population are important because of the many complex and diverse impairments that individuals can experience. Objective This study aims to conduct a two-part systematic review to identify and synthesize existing recommendations for designing and implementing therapeutic VR for ABI rehabilitation, including TBI, and to identify current evidence for using immersive VR for TBI assessment and treatment and to map the degree to which this literature includes recommendations for VR design and implementation. Methods This review was guided by PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). A comprehensive search of 11 databases and gray literature was conducted in August 2019 and repeated in June 2020. Studies were included if they met relevant search terms, were peer-reviewed, were written in English, and were published between 2009 and 2020. Studies were reviewed to determine the level of evidence and methodological quality. For the first part, qualitative data were synthesized and categorized via meta-synthesis. For the second part, findings were analyzed and synthesized descriptively owing to the heterogeneity of data extracted from the included studies. Results In the first part, a total of 14 papers met the inclusion criteria. Recommendations for VR design and implementation were not specific to TBI but rather to stroke or ABI rehabilitation more broadly. The synthesis and analysis of data resulted in three key phases and nine categories of recommendations for designing and implementing VR for ABI rehabilitation. In the second part, 5 studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 2 studies reported on VR for assessment and three for treatment. Studies were varied in terms of therapeutic targets, VR tasks, and outcome measures. VR was used to assess or treat impairments in cognition, balance, and anxiety, with positive outcomes. However, the levels of evidence, methodological quality, and inclusion of recommendations for VR design and implementation were poor. Conclusions There is limited research on the use of immersive VR for TBI rehabilitation. Few studies have been conducted, and there is limited inclusion of recommendations for therapeutic VR design and implementation. Future research in ABI rehabilitation should consider a stepwise approach to VR development, from early co-design studies with end users to larger controlled trials. A list of recommendations is offered to provide guidance and a more consistent model to advance clinical research in this area.

“…There was no disagreement among authors in the selection of studies for the review. Data synthesis on the eligible articles was conducted based on the VREHAB framework that divided the research themes into recipients and providers, virtual environment, applications in health care, and social engagement, as shown in Table 1 [29]. The search and screening process for the systematic review is shown in Figure 1.…”

“…To this end, the objective of this study is to review the evidence, methods, and performance of VR-based immersive rehabilitation for eating disorders induced by cognitive or behavioral problems. We applied the virtual rehabilitation (VREHAB) model framework [29] to map our review into four themes, including recipients and providers, virtual environment, applications in health care, and social engagement. This framework was previously applied to evaluate virtual reality modalities for health care for the elderly [29] and could be applicable in our current review on virtual rehabilitation for eating disorders, which had similar considerations and constructs.…”

Virtual reality (VR) technology is one of the promising directions for rehabilitation, especially cognitive rehabilitation. Previous studies demonstrated successful rehabilitation in motor, cognitive, and sensorial functions using VR. The objective of this review is to summarize the current designs and evidence on immersive rehabilitation interventions using VR on cognitive- or behavioral-related eating disorders, which was mapped using a VREHAB framework. Two authors independently searched electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. Ten (n = 10) articles were eligible for review. Treatments for anorexia nervosa and binge eating disorder/bulimia nervosa were reported through enhanced/experimental cognitive behavior therapy (ECT), cue exposure therapy (CET), and body exposure therapy (BET) via the virtual environment. Some studies reported that the VR effects were superior or comparable to traditional treatments, while the effects may last longer using VR technology. In addition, VR was perceived as acceptable and feasible among patients and therapists and could be valuable for supplementing existing therapies, relieving manpower and caregiver burdens. Future studies may consider incorporating haptic, smell, and biofeedback to improve the experience, and thus the effects of the treatments for the users.

“…No entanto, essas condições podem ser minimizadas com o uso de recursos que podem facilitar o desempenho das atividades diárias, produtivas e de lazer (RIBEIRO; ROSÁRIO, 2016;TIRADO;BARRETO;ASSIS, 2011) Nesse contexto, a reabilitação virtual visa oferecer serviços para ajudar as pessoas a recuperar funções físicas, cognitivas e psicossociais por meio da tecnologia de realidade virtual. Os sistemas em realidade virtual permitem inserir o usuário em um ambiente virtual, oferecendo estímulos que são fundamentais para a recuperação do paciente (CAMPELO et al, 2017).…”

O objetivo desse artigo foi sistematizar um conjunto de diretrizes, recomendações e princípios de design para a reabilitação virtual de idosos por meio da atividade de card sorting. A metodologia incluiu quatro etapas. Na primeira etapa, foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico para a reabilitação virtual de idosos. Na segunda etapa, foi realizada a atividade de card sorting para classificar um conjunto de diretrizes conforme os grupos já definidos. Na terceira etapa, foi feita a análise estatística dos dados coletados. Na etapa final, as diretrizes foram reagrupadas conforme os resultados encontrados na pesquisa. A aplicação do card sorting possibilitou sistematizar um conjunto de 60 diretrizes para a reabilitação virtual de idosos em quatro grupos, sendo eles: terapia, motivação, interação e segurança.
