Virtual Reality on Pulmonary Function After Upper Abdominal Surgeries

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

After upper abdomen surgery, respiratory muscle dysfunction is well recognised. After laparotomy and even laparoscopy, maximum static inspiratory and expiratory pressures are lowered, and recovery can take several days. A variety of reasons have been implicated in such respiratory muscle dysfunction, including irritation and inflammation, as well as injuries near the diaphragm, resulting in local mechanical failure, reflex inhibition, and pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Virtual reality (VR) encourages an environment that attempts to create a moment of entertainment, motivation, and enjoyment with a variety of stimuli, with movements that stimulate physical and cognitive development, as well as the patient's active participation in the rehabilitation process. It is possible to assist in the alleviation of pain using the platform, at a low cost, through the playfulness given during rehabilitation, with an effective consumption of oxygen, range of motion, and use of the respiratory muscles more efficiently. Participants with upper abdominal surgery will be randomly distributed into Group A (VR Group) which will receive VR for plus conventional physical therapy program and Group B (Control Group) which will receive conventional physical therapy program. ;
