Summary

Patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) are an unexpected event that consequently causes physical and psychological problems, including ICU acquired weakness, delirium, sleep disruptions, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Such consequences may lead to prolonged ICU stay, increased health care, and elevated medical costs. Therefore, mitigating physical and psychological distresses by providing timely effective interventions has become a top concern to optimize critically ill patients' recovery. Investigators aim to design an interactive hand-grip game to improve patients' upper limbs activities and psychological health in patients requiring intensive care.

Detailed description

Patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) are an unexpected event that consequently causes physical and psychological problems, including ICU acquired weakness, delirium, sleep disruptions, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Such consequences may lead to prolonged ICU stay, increased health care, and elevated medical costs. Therefore, mitigating physical and psychological distresses by providing timely effective interventions has become a top concern to optimize critically ill patients' recovery. Investigaters aim to design a interactive hand-grip game to improve patients' upper limbs activities and psychological health in patients requiring intensive care. This will be a two-arm, parallel randomized controlled trial which randomly assign patients into the game group and usual care group.
