Background: Postoperative functional recovery in brain tumour patients is difficult owing to complex neurological impairments and the need for analyzed rehabilitation therapies. VRBN is a promising technique that can enhance rehabilitation. This study examines how VRBN affects brain tumour patients' postoperative functional recovery. Aim: The principal objective of this prospective investigation is to determine whether the addition of VRBN to conventional rehabilitation can improve the active recovery of patients who have undergone brain tumour surgery. It is postulated that incorporating VRBN will result in enhanced functional outcomes. Materials and Methods: This research will include 120 brain tumour patients receiving postoperative rehabilitation. Standard therapy and VRBN will be given to Group A and Group B, respectively. Neurological and functional baseline examinations will be done. VRBN immersive virtual reality sessions will be for Group B. Personalizing the VRBN program will tackle functional impairments. Both groups will get therapy from expert physiotherapists and neurorehabilitation specialists. Results: Standardized applicable outcome measures, such as the Timed Up and Go Test, Barthel Index, and Modified Rankin Scale, will be utilized in the study. An evaluation will be conducted at baseline and 4-week, 8-week, and 12-week intervals following the procedure. Analysis of variance and t-tests, among other suitable statistical methods, will be applied to the results to compare the functional outcomes of the two groups. In the VRBN group, we anticipate substantial gains in neurological recovery and functional independence. Conclusion: This study will reveal VRBN's efficacy as a supplement to brain tumour postoperative rehabilitation. It might lead to more tailored and successful rehabilitation treatments for postoperative functional recovery in this patient population. These findings may allow virtual reality technology to be integrated into neurorehabilitation regimens, improving brain tumour patients' outcomes and quality of life. |
