The effect of virtual reality technology on anti-fall ability and bone mineral density of the elderly with osteoporosis in an elderly care institution

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of virtual reality (VR) training on anti-fall ability and bone mineral density (BMD) among elderly patients admitted to a healthcare institution.MethodsPeople (aged 50) with osteoporosis in an elderly care institution in Anhui Province June 2020 to October 2021 were selected and randomly divided into VR group (n = 25) and control group (n = 25). In VR group, the virtual reality rehabilitation training system was used for training, while control group was treated with traditional fall prevention exercise intervention. The changes of Berg Balance Scale (BBS), timed up and go test (TUGT), functional gait assessment (FGA), bone mineral density (BMD) and falls during 12 months of training were compared between the two groups.ResultsBBS and FGA were positively correlated with BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck, and TUGT was negatively correlated with BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck. After 12 months of training, the BBS score, TUGT evaluation and FGA evaluation of the two groups were significantly improved compared with those prior to training (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD between the two groups 6 months after the intervention. The femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD of the VR group improved, and it was significantly higher than that of the control group 12 months after the intervention. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in terms of the incidence of adverse events between the two groups.ConclusionVR training can improve anti-fall ability and increase femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD and can effectively prevent and reduce the risk of injury among elderly people with osteoporosis.

Does virtual reality technology reduce pain and anxiety during outpatient hysteroscopy? A randomised controlled trial.

To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality technology in reducing pain and anxiety during outpatient hysteroscopy. A prospective randomised controlled trial. A London University Teaching Hospital. Women aged 18-70 years undergoing outpatient hysteroscopy procedures. An unblinded randomised controlled trial was performed between March and October 2022 comparing standard outpatient hysteroscopy care with standard care with the addition of a virtual reality headset playing a virtual reality immersive scenario as a distraction technique. Pain and anxiety numeric rating scores (NRS) from 0 to 11. Eighty-three participants were randomly allocated to the control (n = 42) and virtual reality groups (n = 41). The virtual reality group experienced significantly less anxiety during the procedure than the control group (mean NRS 3.29 versus 4.73, mean difference 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.12-2.88; P = 0.03). There was no difference in reported average pain (mean NRS 3.73. versus 4.24, mean difference 0.51; 95% CI -1.76 to 0.64; p = 0.41) or maximum pain scores (mean NRS 5.32 versus 5.07, mean difference 0.25; 95% CI -1.05 to 1.55; P = 0.71). The use of virtual reality technology as an adjunct to standard care can reduce patient-reported anxiety but not pain during outpatient hysteroscopy procedures. Continued improvements in the technology and the development of increasingly immersive environments may continue to increase the potential to improve the patient experience in this setting.

The Effects of Virtual Reality in Maternal Delivery: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Extreme labor pain has negative effects; pharmacologic analgesic modalities are effective but are accompanied by adverse effects. Virtual reality (VR) works as a distracting nonpharmacologic intervention for pain and anxiety relief; however, the effects of VR use in laboring women is unknown. Our study aimed to determine the safety and effectiveness of VR technology during labor and delivery and investigate whether it impacts labor and patient satisfaction. In all, 7 databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wan-Fang Database) were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials of VR use in pregnancy and childbirth from the time of database construction until November 24, 2021. Two researchers extracted data and evaluated study quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool 2.0. Outcome measures were labor pain, anxiety, duration, satisfaction, and adverse events. Meta-analyses were performed where possible. A total of 12 studies with 1095 participants were included, of which 1 and 11 studies were rated as "Low risk" and "Some concerns" for risk of bias, respectively. Of the 12 studies, 11 reported labor pain, 7 reported labor anxiety, and 4 reported labor duration. Meta-analysis revealed that VR use could relieve pain during labor (mean difference -1.81, 95% CI -2.04 to -1.57; P<.001) and the active period (standardized mean difference [SMD] -0.41, 95% CI -0.68 to -0.14; P=.003); reduce anxiety (SMD -1.39, 95% CI -1.99 to -0.78; P<.001); and improve satisfaction with delivery (relative risk 1.32, 95% CI 1.10-1.59; P=.003). The effects of VR on the duration of the first (SMD -1.12, 95% CI -2.38 to 0.13; P=.08) and second (SMD -0.22, 95% CI -0.67 to 0.24; P=.35) stages of labor were not statistically significant. VR is safe and effective in relieving maternal labor pain and anxiety; however, due to the heterogeneity among studies conducted to date, more rigorous, large-scale, and standardized randomized controlled trials are required to provide a higher-quality evidence base for the use of VR technology in maternal labor, with the aim of improving experience and outcomes.

A meta‐analysis and systematic review of the effect of virtual reality technology on users' learning outcomes

AbstractWith the rapid development of science and technology, virtual reality (VR) technologies have obtained great popularity in education, coupled with many studies on the effect of VR technologies on learning outcomes. However, few studies have systematically summarized their effect on educational outcomes. This study systematically and meta‐analytically examined the effect of VR technologies on educational outcomes using Stata 14.0. The researchers reviewed 43 empirical VR studies in education, ranging from 1993 to 2020, in high‐impact journals of educational technology. Researchers included the subgroups such as VR users' learning outcomes consisting of intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, attitudes, motor skills, and educational levels of participants, as well as countries or regions where the sample was recruited. It is found that VR technologies can positively influence learning outcomes in education, improve learning outcomes across the world except Europe, and facilitate learning outcomes at different educational levels except the primary school level. Future designers and teachers should attempt to stimulate their learning interest in the VR‐based approach by integrating interesting components into VR technologies. Future design of VR‐based approach can also attach enough importance to motivation and satisfaction of learners, construction of VR labs in education, and the impacts of VR on students.

Optimization of 3D Virtual Reality Technology in High School Physics Direct-Type Teaching

Virtual reality technology is a computer simulation that allows the creation and experience of virtual worlds, using computers to generate a simulated environment into which the user is immersed. Through a theoretical exposition of 3D virtual reality technology, the elements of teaching and learning and virtual reality technology are analyzed in terms of abstract virtual cognition and concrete modeling techniques, and the forms of application of virtual reality technology in high school physics teaching are described, along with associated educational technology theories. The era of core literacy development poses new challenges to basic teaching and requires new teaching methods and approaches to adapt. The development of 3D virtual reality technology has provided new opportunities for teaching reform. Firstly, the unique charm of virtual reality technology itself has deeply attracted many experts and scholars to explore its application in pedagogy. Secondly, the scale and effect of virtual reality technology in pedagogy applications are still far from the ideal goal in people’s mind, and further exploration and research are needed in the theoretical support of educational technology research. Thirdly, in the process of high school basic teaching, on the one hand, basic experiments play a crucial role, and on the other hand, transforming abstract basic principles and concepts into concrete visible and operable teaching methods is also an important direction for its future development. Combined with the development tools and software to build processes and models, the knowledge of electricity and mechanics in high school physics is modeled in 3Ds MAX and Unity3D to provide technical support for the application of virtual reality in high school physics teaching and to promote the reform of high school physics teaching. Based on an in-depth analysis of virtual reality technology in the construction of teaching resources, this paper explores the feasibility of using software systems and hardware facilities of 3D virtual reality technology in high school physics teaching, such as experimental demonstration, geometric modeling, and 3D graphic transformation. It fits the cognitive level of high school students, constructs 3D virtual scenes and virtual object motion trajectory models that meet the requirements of the high school physics curriculum, and promotes the application of virtual reality technology in high school physics teaching and visualizing abstract physics knowledge, with clear student understanding and significant improvement in learning efficiency.

The effects of virtual reality technology on reducing pain in wound care: A meta-analysis and systematic review.

Virtual reality (VR) technology has been widely used in clinical nursing care in recent years. We aimed to systematically evaluate the effect and safety of VR technology on pain control in wound care, to provide evidence and support for clinical wound care. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, China Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and Chinese Science and Technology Journal databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the application of VR technology in wound care up to December 20, 2021. Two researchers independently assessed the quality of the included RCTs and extracted associated data. RevMan5.3 statistical software was used for data analysis. 13 RCTs involving 1258 adult patients were included, of whom 588 patients underwent VR intervention. VR technology intervention could reduce the VAS score(MD=-1.13, 95%CI:-2.01~-0.26, P< .001), pain cognition score(MD=-3.94, 95%CI:-4.59 ~ -3.30, P< .001), pain emotion score(MD=-5.21, 95%CI: -10.46 ~ -0.04, P< .001), pain sensation score (MD=-4.94, 95%CI: -9.46 ~ -0.42, P= .03) and blood pressure(MD=-4.66, 95%CI: -8.63 ~ -0.69, P= .02) during would care. There were no significant differences on the heart rate (MD=-1.85, 95%CI: -5.71 ~ -2.01, P= .45) and VR interestingness (MD=28.96, 95%CI: -22.10 ~ 80.02, P= .27) of the VR group and control group. No publication biases among the synthesised outcomes were found (all P> .001). VR technology can effectively reduce the pain degree and sensation of patients during wound care, which may be an effective auxiliary non-drug method used for pain relief during wound care.
