Active video games (AVGs) significantly improved pulmonary function, muscle strength, exercise capacity, and quality of life in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). This enjoyable intervention enhances physical activity and daily living for PCD patients.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Pediatric Respiratory Diseases
- Rehabilitation Technology
Background:
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder affecting lung function and exercise capacity.
- Current rehabilitation strategies for PCD focus on airway clearance, with limited research on novel exercise modalities.
- Investigating the impact of active video games (AVGs) offers a potential new approach to improve patient outcomes.
