Virtual Reality Distraction From Procedural Pain in Children

"An Oculus Rift VR Headset and a set of Oculus Touch Controllers was used as interactivity device. Two scenarios of IVR rehabilitation game were offered to the patients: 1) Archery based on behind-the-neck overhead press, using a quiver on the user back to encourage bending their arm and firing the arrow to help with stretching exercises and 2) Climbing based on an overhead arm raise exercise.~Each child will took part in a single IVR trial during their rehabilitation care with the physiotherapist, supported by IP, the games expert/researcher. Timing of participation was approximately 15 minutes of trial with each scenario of game. A short interview was conducted with each child and their parent (together) after each trial, and a focus group was conducted with the clinical staff."
