Spinal cord injury e-learning in Mixed Reality The making of & patient stories Joost Baardman, resident PM&R in De Hoogstraat Rehabilitation Utrecht
Background Bodily consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI) are complex. Knowledge is essential for health. Mixed Reality (MR) can visually strengthen education. Development of an MR e-learning in co-creation with patients, professionals and software developer. Part of a project with MR exer- games in SCI rehabilitation.
Project overview January 2020 September 2020: iterative development. Contributors: project group, 10 inpatients, 8 (other) rehabilitation professionals. September 2020: start pilot study. April 2021: end of pilot study. Evaluation through usability questionnaires and interviews.
First results Results are part of a broad project evaluation with 25 participants. Too little quantitative data due to loss to follow-up and incomplete questionnaires. However, 17/25 were interviewed. Detailed analysis has yet to be performed. Most experienced it as clear visual explanation , adding up to regular counselling. Usability concerns are solved. Room for expansion!
First conclusions and the next step Developers and patients think that visually supported MR e- learnings are beneficial. Further results will be presented at DCRM 2021. Currently used in inpatient rehabilitation in De Hoogstraat, will be evaluated in the future. Possibly expanded with modules about bladder or respiratory function disabilities
