- Lead Sponsor
- University of Hail
- Brief Summary
in this study, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effect of adding exercises using virtual reality on achievements in patients having breast cancer and conducted surgical treatment
- Detailed Description
in this study, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effect of adding exercises using virtual reality on achievements in patients having breast cancer and conducted surgical treatment.
A virtual reality (VR) environment is created by combining computer systems and sensor technology with the use of three-dimensional graphics and enabling users to experience a more real, immersive experience by utilizing their various senses (vision, hearing, touch, etc.) through the use of the computer and sensor technologies and it is characterized by immersion, imagination, and interaction 2 groups will be selected randomly to receive experimental and control intervention for 1 month and outcomes will be collected before and after treatment.

Group Intervention Description virtual reality exercises using virtual reality technology The patients in this group are under exercise training and pneumatic pressure followed by Pablo©Handle training for 45 minutes per week for 8 week -Pablo©Handle training One-dimensional therapy games using five games are available for Pablo©Handle which are (Recycle, Firefighters, Shooting Cans, Balloon, and Apple hunter) The session will be 3 min for each game about 15 min for each session 3 times per week for 8 week regular exercises exercises using virtual reality technology The patients in this group will receive exercise training and pneumatic pressure only for 30 min3 times per week for 8 week * Exercise training will be done by the following exercise for 15 min3 times per week for 8 week * Intermittent Compression Therapy Parameters: using the (Care Pump expert 8) * Pressure. 60 mmHg, Direction. Distal to proximal, Speed 4 to 5, for 15 min /3 times per week for 8 week
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method wrist joint active range of motion (ROM) baseline flexion and extension active ROM of the wrist joints will be assessed using Pablo system
Fatigue by Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory after the end of the treatment (after 8 weeks) The MFI is a 20-item self-report instrument designed to measure fatigue. It covers the following dimensions: general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, reduced motivation, and mental fatigue.
Anxiety by The State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) after the end of the treatment (after 8 weeks) SAI is a valid and commonly used measure for anxiety The SAI includes 20 items; each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale The SAI range of total scores is between 20 and 80, with the higher score indicating more anxiety
Handgrip strength at baseline will be measured by Pablo system for the affected and unaffected upper limbs
handgrip strength after the end of the treatment (after 8 weeks) will be measured by Pablo system for the affected and unaffected upper limbs
wrist joint active ROM after the end of the treatment (after 8 weeks) flexion and extension active ROM of the wrist joints will be assessed using Pablo system
Pain using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) after the end of the treatment (after 8 weeks) this scale is valid and reliable measure of pain intensity. the patient is asked to rate pain intensity be choosing a number from 0 to 10 where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain ever
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) after the end of the treatment (after 8 weeks) DASH is a 30-item questionnaire. Each item is scored on a 1 (no difficulty) to 5 (unable) scale. The total score may range from 0 to 100 points. High scores indicate a high level of disability.
