Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to define the efficacy and features of physical therapy (PT) using the Nintendo Wii Fit U (Nintendo Inc., Kyoto, Japan) in patients with hematological malignancies confined to a bioclean room. METHOD: A total of 33 patients with hematological malignancies confined to a bioclean room were enrolled in this study. This study was designed as a randomized crossover test between two weeklong interventions: PT program (Therapist PT) and Wii Fit U program (Wii PT). We compared the efficacy of Wii PT and Therapist PT with regard to physical and psychological function test scores. RESULTS: Of the 33 patients, 22 were analyzed. The validity of the crossover design was demonstrated, as there were no significant differences in period and carryover effects between the two groups. Therapist PT resulted in significantly better improvements in fatigue scores and total mood disturbance (TMD) scores in the Profile of Mood States short-form Japanese version compared to Wii PT (fatigue score, -5.2±8.3 vs 2.7±8.2; TMD score, -22.5±32.8 vs -2.6±20.5; p<0.05). Physical function improved post-Wii PT and post-Therapist PT interventions (p<0.05), and there was no difference in treatment effect. CONCLUSION: Improvements in physical function were clearly observed following the use of Wii PT in patients confined to a bioclean room. However, compared to Therapist PT, Wii PT was less effective in improving the psychological function of patients. 2020, JAPANESE PHYSICAL THERAPY ASSOCIATION.
