Feasibility of virtual reality training in promoting early mobility in patients following abdominal surgery: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

In Our Study We Will Be Including Patients with Post Operative Open Abdominal Surgery. We Will Be Giving Virtual Reality Training Along with Conventional Therapy for Promoting Early Mobility and Pain Reduction. Patients with open abdominal surgery will be included in the study trial if they met the inclusion criteria. The written and oral consent of all patients will be taken, and procedure will be explained. Demographic data will be noted. Baseline data which include PERME ICU mobility scale, Visual Analogue Scale, Borg rating of perceived exertion, System Usability Scale will be assessed. The patients will be randomly divided into two study groups intervention group and control group. The patients will receive intervention as per the group allocation for 1 week. The intervention group will receive Virtual Reality Training Exercises whereas the control group will receive conventional care physiotherapy only. VR Training involve games maloka and first step game will be given 7 session/week for 1 week. Conventional Physiotherapy Includes Pain Management, Breathing Exercises, Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises, Strengthening Exercises, Stretching Exercises, Functional Training will be given 7 sessions/week for 1 week. All participants will be receiving one session of 30-40 minutes per day. Outcome measures will be assessed pre and post intervention period. Statistical analysis of the collected data will be done. Conclusion will be established based on the obtained results of the study.
