Summary
The increasing prevalence of stroke (ACV) has driven the search for
innovative rehabilitation methods. Immersive virtual reality (RV),
especially custom games, offers an interactive and motivating approach
to adherence to therapy. The perception and acceptance of
physiotherapists(Survivors don't fucking care about your perceptions! Does it work?) are crucial to their implementation and require further
research. The objective of this research was to evaluate the attitudes
and perceptions of physiotherapists regarding the feasibility and
effectiveness of a personalized virtual reality game called Motion
Health VR for post-CVA rehabilitation. The methodology used was to use
three strategies to collect subjective data. First, a multiple-choice
questionnaire was administered to 73 doctors and physiothers during the
ISPRM 2023 (International Society of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation) Conference to obtain quantitative data on the usefulness
and viability of Motion Health VR. Then, a discussion group was
conducted with 4 physiotherapists to obtain qualitative information
about the usability, accessibility and profitability of the game. A
feasibility and cost-effectiveness analysis was then conducted to assess
the potential long-term benefits and financial implications of the
implementation of Motion Health VR in Colombia. The results obtained
were a wide acceptance of VR as a complementary tool in post-ACV
rehabilitation and the recognition of personalized games as motivators
for patient participation. Physiotherapists highlighted their
playability and immersion, although they pointed to limitations related
to the patient's costs and spasticity. The analysis indicated that
initial, while significant costs, can be justified by long-term savings
and better outcomes for patients. Finally, it is concluded that Motion
Health VR showed significant potential to complement post-ACV
rehabilitation, and is well received by physiotherapists. Key challenges
include improving access, reducing costs and providing VR training to
optimize rehabilitation outcomes.
