Abstract

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a key evidence-based intervention to improve the outcomes of people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, there are challenges in delivering pulmonary rehabilitation including reduced referral rates and suboptimal uptake and completion rates. Active video game interventions, when used as an adjunct, may increase the adoption of and access to pulmonary rehabilitation. This commentary summarises and critically appraises a systematic review which investigated the effectiveness of active video games as a supplementary component in the pulmonary rehabilitation of individuals suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
