What this trial measures

  • Feasibility as assessed by the recruitment ratefrom baseline to end of intervention (6 weeks)
  • Feasibility as assessed by the retention ratefrom baseline to end of intervention (6 weeks)
  • Feasibility as assessed by the session completion ratefrom baseline to end of intervention (6 weeks)
  • Usability as assessed by the System Usability Scale (SUS)Post-intervention only (Final visit at 6 weeks)

    The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a validated 10-item questionnaire used to assess participants' perceived usability of the intervention. each rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree 3 = Neutral ,4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater usability.

  • Acceptability / Presence as assessed by the Presence Questionnaire (PQ)Post-intervention only (Final visit at 6 weeks)

    This is a 29 item questionnaire, each is scored on a seven-point Likert-type scale with a score range form 29-203. Higher scores indicate a greater sense of presence or immersion in the virtual environment.

  • Tolerability / Side Effects as assessed by the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ)Before + immediately After each VR session

    This is a 16 item questionnaire and each is scored form 0(none) to 3(severe). Scores are combined using weighted subscales to generate a total score, with higher scores indicating greater simulator sickness

  • Adherence / Engagement as assessed by the session attendance as entered in VR system logsPost-intervention only (Final visit at 6 weeks)
  • Adherence / Engagement as assessed by the time from start to end of VR session as entered in VR system logsPost-intervention only (Final visit at 6 weeks)
  • Adherence / Engagement as assessed by the number of repetitions of the activity as indicated by device metricsPost-intervention only (Final visit at 6 weeks)
