Summary

Management in intensive care unit (ICU) has gradually evolved to early mobilization. Studies have confirmed a 50% decrease impact on the functional abilities and quality of life after ICU. The cycloergometer is particularly studied and effective for early rehabilitation. Current practices encounter obstacles as fatigue, pain or a lack of motivation to mobilize. Several studies have been carried out to evaluate the effects of virtual reality (VR) on mental health and on cognitive abilities. To date, there is little evidence about VR on distraction and the impact on physical activity motivation in ICU. The main hypothesis is that the use of combine cycloergometer and VR would improve the travelled distance by patients in ICU. Adverse effects would be observed initially in order to consolidate the safety data of this device. It would also allow a better participant experience.

Conditions

• Intensive Care Unit

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Virtual reality and Cycloergometer	The session performed uses a standard cycloergometer, with the participant pedaling in a seated position with the lower limbs. A 43 inches TV screen is placed in front of the cycloergometer where the participant will watch a video of a walk through a natural environment on. The speed of the walk is linked to the pedaling speed so that the faster the participant pedals, the faster the video goes too. The session last 30 minutes in the participant's room.
OTHER	Standard cycloergometer	the session uses usual cycloergometer with the participant pedaling in a seated position with the lower limbs. The session lats 30 minutes in the participant's room.
