| Abstrakt: | Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology that can be used as an early complementary intervention to promote early mobilization for critically ill patients. This narrative review examines early mobilization outcomes of VR intervention for patients in the ICU and PCCU. Comprehensive medical databases were searched for publications detailing the application of VR interventions in association with critical care. In total, seven studies were screened and selected for the review. Various VR programs help promote early mobilization by using movement-based programs and virtual environments to encourage increased activity and heightened diversity of movements. Furthermore, VR can enhance engagement and enjoyment for therapies and rehabilitation. The emergence of VR modalities shows increased mobility, motivation, and treatment satisfaction among critically ill patients. However, the limited data available, vulnerability of the patient population, safety concerns, and need for more controlled studies emphasize the importance of continued research and cautious implementation of VR interventions in critical care settings.
