Summary
This study explores whether playing virtual reality games can help patients in the intensive care unit move their arms and hands more, and improve their emotional well-being. About 30 adults who have been in the ICU for at least 3 days and have trouble moving will try a VR game at least once a day. Researchers will measure how much nursing time is needed and how easy patients find the game to use.
