Impact of Virtual Reality Training on Quality of Life, Diaphragmatic Excursion, Pulmonary Function, and Respiratory Muscle Strength After Upper Abdominal Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Study.

A randomized controlled trial published in Physical Therapy examined whether virtual reality (VR) training improves outcomes in patients recovering from upper abdominal surgery. Researchers found that VR-based interventions positively influenced quality of life, diaphragmatic excursion, pulmonary function, and respiratory muscle strength in this population. These findings suggest VR may be a valuable addition to postoperative physical therapy protocols targeting respiratory rehabilitation.
