Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
mean daily inspiration volume in mL, measured with an incentive spirometer (Voldyne).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Patient mobility:Time spent lying, sitting and moving measured with a wearable activity monitor (ActivPal/Activ8). Clinical outcomes: Length of hospital stay in days, pulmonary complications during admission, transfer to ICU, readmission within 30 days Pain: VAS score during breathing exercise, analgesic use (paracetamol, NSAIDs, opioids), use of add-on/escape medication Activities of daily livin: Powerlessness in Daily Living questionnaire (PDL) Patient reported outcomes: Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire, treatment satisfaction questionnaire Safety outcomes: Reasons for withdrawal, adverse events during VR therapy incl. virtual reality sickness questionnaire (VRSQ) Barriers to implementation: Treatment adherence, measured by the number of times pulmonary and physical exercise are performed, technical problems, feedback on apps.
