Head-mounted displays for virtual reality (HMD-VR) may be used as a therapeutic medium in physical rehabilitation because of their ability to immerse patients in safe, controlled, and engaging virtual worlds.
To explore how HMD-VR has been used in adult physical rehabilitation.
A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ERIC produced 11,453 abstracts, of which 777 underwent full-text review.
This scoping review includes 21 experimental studies that reported an assessment or intervention using HMD-VR in a physical rehabilitation context and within the scope of occupational therapy practice.
HMD-VR was used for assessment and intervention for patients with a range of disorders, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's disease.
HMD-VR is an emerging technology with many uses in adult physical rehabilitation. Higher quality clinical implementation studies are needed to examine effects on patient outcomes.
We review existing research on how immersive virtual reality (e.g., using head-mounted displays) has been used for different clinical populations in adult physical rehabilitation and highlight emerging opportunities in this field for occupational therapists.
由于头戴式虚拟现实显示器 (HMD-VR) 能够让患者沉浸在安全、可控和吸引人的虚拟世界中，因此它可能被用作物理康复的治疗媒介。
探索 HMD-VR 在成人物理康复中的应用方式。
通过对 MEDLINE、Embase、Cochrane 图书馆、CINAHL、Web of Science、PsycINFO 和 ERIC 进行系统检索，共产生了 11453 篇摘要，其中 777 篇进行了全文审查。
本范围综述包括 21 项实验研究，这些研究报告了在物理康复环境中以及在职业治疗实践范围内使用 HMD-VR 进行评估或干预的情况。
HMD-VR 被用于评估和干预各种疾病的患者，包括中风、多发性硬化症、脊髓损伤和帕金森病。
HMD-VR 是一种新兴技术，在成人物理康复中有多种用途。需要进行更高质量的临床实施研究，以检验对患者结果的影响。
我们回顾了现有的研究，探讨了沉浸式虚拟现实（例如，使用头戴式显示器）如何在成人物理康复中用于不同的临床人群，并强调了职业治疗师在该领域的新兴机会。
