Summary

This project aims to create and improve a VR-based breathing exercise program for patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). It involves three phases: (1) developing an interactive VR application with guided breathing exercises and real-time biofeedback tailored for ILD patients, (2) testing its feasibility by evaluating usability and acceptability, and (3) refining the intervention based on feedback from the feasibility study.

Conditions

  • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Interventions

OTHER

Flyer

Participants will engage in slow, controlled diaphragmatic breathing exercises, box breathing, and arm exercises at home using printed instructions as guide.

OTHER

VR-based

Participants will engage in guided breathing exercises and arm exercises delivered through an immersive VR application. The intervention will be performed while seated comfortably and will follow a progressive training schedule consisting of supervised laboratory sessions and independent home-based sessions.
