Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of virtual reality-based exercise training after thoracic surgery. Participants undergoing lung resection surgery will be assigned to either a virtual reality exercise training group or a control group receiving standard care. Physical function, pulmonary function, exercise capacity, dyspnea, anxiety, depression, and quality of life will be evaluated before and after the intervention. The findings may help determine whether virtual reality-assisted exercise training improves postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality Exercise Training

Participants received virtual reality-based exercise training in addition to conventional pulmonary rehabilitation and cycle ergometer training after thoracic surgery.

OTHER

Conventional Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Cycle Ergometer Training

Participants received conventional pulmonary rehabilitation and cycle ergometer training after thoracic surgery.

PROCEDURE

thoracic surgery

Participants underwent thoracic surgery (lobectomy, segmentectomy, pneumonectomy, or wedge resection) according to the clinical indication before receiving the assigned rehabilitation intervention.
