简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of virtual reality exercises on lower extremity skin temperature, arterial stiffness, gait parameters and enjoyment of exercise in individuals with peripheral arterial disease.
详细描述
The number of studies conducted in individuals with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is quite small. In the only existing study, it was found that the application of a walking program on a treadmill in a virtual environment created with virtual reality increased the walking distance of individuals with intermittent claudication. In this direction, our study was planned to determine the effect of exercise program with virtual reality application on skin temperature, arterial stiffness, gait parameters and exercise enjoyment in individuals with PAD.
The study group will receive an exercise program with X-Box 360 KinectTM game console (X-Box 360, Microsoft, United States) for 50 minutes a day, 2 days a week for 12 weeks, and the control group will receive only a home exercise program. Lower extremity skin temperature will be evaluated with a thermal camera (FLIR E53, FLIR Systems, Wilsonville, Oregon, USA), arterial stiffness will be evaluated with an arterial stiffness meter (SphygmocorXCEL device), gait parameters will be evaluated with a wearable movement analysis system (G-walk), 6 Minute Walk Test and Walking Impairment Questionnaire. Enjoyment of physical activity will be evaluated with The Short Version of Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale Assessments will be made as initial assessment before the exercise program, interim assessment at week 6 and final assessment at week 12.
