Telerehabilitation Cerebral Palsy

This data refers to mean, standard deviation and confidence interval of accuracy, precision, percentage of hits and rating of perceived exertion intelerehabilitation using non-immersive virtual reality serious games during quarantine for COVID-19 in people with Cerebral Palsy and Typically Developing peers. We hypothesize that all participants would be able to present performance improvement (assessed through the game), with increases in physical activity intensity levels (assessed through rating of perceived exertion -RPE- scale) and motivation (assessed through visual analogue scale –(VAS) scale for satisfaction and motivation). However, considering all the sensorimotor difficulties that characterize CP, the improvements and benefits will be more evident for the TD group. Our initial hypothesis was partially supported as all participants were able to engage with the therapy remotely and demonstrated improved performance, increasing their physical activity in this cross-sectional study, providing a positive base for developing HBTR in this group. However contrary to our hypothesis the TD group did not present better motor performance in all aspects of the protocol compared to the CP group opening opportunities for motivating competitions with TD peers and siblings. These results will be explained below.

本数据集收录了新冠疫情隔离期间，针对脑瘫（Cerebral Palsy, CP）患者与典型发育同龄人（Typically Developing peers, TD），采用非沉浸式虚拟现实严肃游戏（non-immersive virtual reality serious games）开展智能康复（intelerehabilitation）时，准确率、精准度、命中百分比及自觉劳累分级量表（Rating of Perceived Exertion, RPE）评分的均值、标准差与置信区间。本研究假设：所有受试者均可通过游戏测试获得表现提升，身体活动强度的提升可通过自觉劳累分级量表（RPE）评估，而用于满意度与动机评估的视觉模拟评分法（Visual Analogue Scale, VAS）可反映受试者动机水平的改善。然而，鉴于脑瘫典型的感觉运动障碍，典型发育同龄人组的改善与获益将更为显著。本研究的初始假设得到部分验证：在这项横断面研究中，所有受试者均可远程参与康复训练，且表现出运动能力提升、身体活动量增加，为本群体开展HBTR奠定了积极基础。但与初始假设相悖的是，与脑瘫组相比，典型发育同龄人组并未在试验方案的所有维度上展现出更优的运动表现，这为其与同龄典型发育者及兄弟姐妹开展富有激励性的竞赛创造了条件。下文将对上述研究结果进行详细阐释。
