研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of Virtual Reality as an intervention for patients following specific hand injuries will positively affect patients with decreased hand function and reduce pain and improve outcomes. Participants will be recruited from 3 different clinics in central Kentucky.
详细描述
Participants will participate in four sessions of therapy treatment over a 2-3 week time span of schedule therapy appointments during their active phase of rehabilitation for approximately 1-hour virtual reality (VR) training dosage which will be recorded. The specific virtual reality games within the Oculus Quest 2 VR system will be selected by the therapist providing interventions each session.
In addition to the Virtual Reality intervention noted above, participants will participate in a pre and post-test outcome measure session (25-30 minutes) with a research team member. (See outcome measure section for more details).

结局指标
主要结局
Hand Function Measures - Box and Block Test
时间窗: 4 minutes
The patient is asked to grasp a single block out of one box and move the block into the other box. They must cross midline to drop the box into the other box. This is a timed test for 1 minute. The number of blocks moved are counted and then the test is repeated with the other hand. A 15 second trial practice is performed so the participant understands the test. The number of blocks move with each hand is recorded.
Hand Function Measures - Nine Hole Peg Test
时间窗: 8 minutes
Nine Hole Peg Test measures finger dexterity and motor function. The participants will take 9 pegs from a container and place into a board as quickly as possible and then return them back to the container. A practice trial of this assessment will also occur prior to the documented time trial.
