BackgroundWhile motion-sensing game (MSG) platforms provide immersive, real-time feedback environments for rehabilitation, research findings on their effectiveness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pulmonary rehabilitation remain heterogeneous.
ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy of MSG-assisted pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD.
MethodsThis meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions
ResultsAnalysis of 12 RCTs (n=776) demonstrated that MSG-assisted pulmonary rehabilitation, compared with conventional pulmonary rehabilitation, significantly improved 6-Minute Walk Distance (MD 23.23, 95% CI 14.47‐31.99; PPPPPPPP
ConclusionsMSG-assisted pulmonary rehabilitation demonstrates significant improvements in exercise capacity, respiratory symptoms, quality of life, and psychological well-being among patients with COPD. Despite potential benefits, the predominance of low-quality evidence highlights the necessity for risk-benefit assessment before clinical implementation. Future research priorities should include larger, methodologically rigorous RCTs, standardized intervention protocols, investigation of sustained therapeutic effects, and cost-effectiveness analyses to establish definitive evidence for optimal implementation of gaming technology in pulmonary rehabilitation programs. |
