Abstract:
More and more researchers have recommended critically ill patients to start mobilization as early as possible. However, the clinical utilization rate of early mobilization remains low for patients in the intensive care units (ICU) because of various factors. In order to promote the rehabilitation of critically ill patients, a multidisciplinary research team, including academic researchers, ICU head nurses, respiratory therapists, and a software engineer, has developed a virtual reality system for early mobilization in ICU. This system has four main features-the diverse forms of mobilization based on muscle strength, the integration of exercise and cognitive training, the visualization of the mobilization process and the record of the trajectory during mobilization exercises. This paper presents and discusses the development process of this system.

Virtual Work
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
