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 mood. About 30 adults who have been in the ICU for at least 3 days will try a VR game once a day or more. Researchers will measure how much nursing time is needed and how easy patients find the game to use.
