Background:

Virtual reality (VR) enhances adherence to intradialytic exercise.
Hemodialysis patients often struggle with exercise adherence.
VR offers an innovative approach to intradialytic rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate patient and healthcare professional perceptions of an intradialytic VR exercise program.
To assess patient satisfaction with VR-based intradialytic exercise.
To determine the impact of VR exercise on healthcare professionals' workflow.

Main Methods:

A VR protocol involving lower limb resistance and endurance training was implemented.
Patient perception and satisfaction were measured using questionnaires.
Healthcare professional perceptions were also assessed via questionnaires.

Main Results:

Most of the 27 participating patients rated the VR experience as very good and easy.
24 patients completed the program, with most finding it beneficial.
The majority of healthcare professionals reported no disruption to their work routine.

Conclusions:

The intradialytic VR exercise program demonstrated strong acceptance among patients.
Healthcare professionals also perceived the VR program favorably.
VR is a viable and well-accepted modality for intradialytic exercise programs.
