Abstract

In order to improve the efficiency of auxiliary medication for patients with mild cognitive impairment, this paper proposes a method based on VR technology and health education. Sixty elderly patients with COPD and MCI admitted to a hospital from January 2019 to February 2020 were randomly divided into a control group and study group, with 50 cases in each group. On the basis of conventional drug therapy, health education, and respiratory muscle training, patients in the control group received routine lung rehabilitation training, while patients in the study group received lung rehabilitation training using the BioMaster virtual scene interactive rehabilitation training system. Both groups continued training for 12 weeks. Lung function indexes, 6-minute walking distance, COPD assessment test (CAT) score, and Montreal Cognitive Function Assessment Scale (MoCA) score were compared between the 2 groups before training and 4, 8, and 12 weeks after training. The experimental results show that, in the study group, the percentage of FEV1 in the predicted value at 8 weeks after training, the percentage of FEV1 in the predicted value at 12 weeks after training, and FEV1/FVC were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in 6-minute walking distance, CAT score, and MoCA score between the two groups before training (P > 0.05). Twelve weeks after training, patients in the study group had a longer 6-minute walking distance, a lower CAT score, and a higher MoCA score than those in the control group (P < 0.05). It is proved that the application of virtual reality technology in lung rehabilitation training of elderly COPD patients with MCI is effective, which can effectively improve the lung function, cognitive function, and exercise tolerance of the patients and reduce the symptoms of dyspnea and the efficiency of medication.

Highlights

  • With the aging of the population, the number of dementia patients is increasing year by year, their cognitive ability and self-care ability are declining, and mental and behavioral symptoms are frequent, which brings a heavy burden to families and society

  • To provide new ideas for improving the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation training, 60 elderly COPD patients with MCI admitted to a hospital from January 2019 to February 2020 were randomly divided into a control group and study group, with 50 cases in each group. e observation group adopted the intervention program of health promotion combined with health education under the guidance of community doctors, while the control group only received basic health education

  • Sixty elderly patients with COPD and MCI admitted to a hospital from January 2019 to February 2020 were randomly divided into a control group and study group, with 50 cases in each group. ere were 38 males and 12 females in the control group. e average age was 74.6 years for males and 75.3 years for females Grade of COPD severity: 33 cases were moderate, and 17 cases were severe. ere were 40 males and 10 females in the study group. e average age was 73.6 years for males and 76.3 years for females Grade of COPD severity: 30 cases were moderate, and 20 cases were severe

Summary

Introduction

With the aging of the population, the number of dementia patients is increasing year by year, their cognitive ability and self-care ability are declining, and mental and behavioral symptoms are frequent, which brings a heavy burden to families and society. Cognitive training software is widely used in the field of CACR, which can adjust the difficulty of training according to the cognitive level and give answers and help to patients when they cannot complete the task At present, it is mostly used for MCI patients, but the rehabilitation of dementia patients is relatively less [2]. The training emphasis provided by the abovementioned software is different, it has got rid of the traditional rehabilitation mode focusing on memory training It mainly provides targeted, flexible, and adjustable multidirectional intervention activities according to different cognitive impairment areas and severity of patients, shortens intervention time, and gives timely feedback and objective evaluation to patients’ executive ability [4]
