ABSTRACT

With the application and integration of high-quality computer software and hardware as well as the advanced sensors,a rehabilitation VR system has been explored and developed for breast cancer patients.According to the changes of lymphedema and motor function,the rehabilitation process was divided into four phases.After a three-month control experiment among 76 cases of breast cancer patients,the results showed that the VR system with auxiliary game treatment to control patients' training process was able to substantially improve limb function recovery,compliance and subjective initiative in rehabilitation training,and reduce the edema of affected limbs,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Therefore,the VR system helps patients' limb function recovery and reduce negative emotions after surgery.
