Parkinsonova bolezen je druga najpogostejša nevrodegenerativna bolezen. Zdravilo trenutno ni poznano, zato je ključna redna vadba, ki lahko pripomore k lajšanju simptomov in izboljšave kakovosti življenja. V ta namen smo izdelali aplikacijo za napravo Meta Quest 2, katere namen je igrificirana vadba. Za evalvacijo aplikacije smo pridobili 18 prostovoljcev, od katerih smo za analizo uporabili 14. 8 od teh je bilo brez PB, 6 pa s PB. Pred evalvacijo so bili prostovoljci seznanjeni z uporabo naprave in aplikacijo, nato je sledila uporaba aplikacije, na koncu pa reševanje vprašalnikov. Odgovore na vprašalnike, rezultate vaj in podatke o gibanju med vajami smo analizirali in dobili nekaj ključnih ugotovitev. Splošen odziv je bil pozitiven tako pri osebah s PB kot osebah brez PB in večina prostovoljcev bi si želela še kdaj uporabljati aplikacijo. V povprečju so osebe s PB dosegle nižje rezultate in imele počasnejše povprečno gibanje rok. Z analizo sledenja gibanja rok in glave bi bilo možno določiti prisotnost tremorjev, vendar bi za to bila potrebna bolj podrobna analiza.

Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Currently, there is no known cure, which is why performing exercises regularly is crucial to reduce the symptoms and improve quality of life. For this purpose we have developed an exergaming application for the virtual reality headset Meta Quest 2. To evaluate our application we gathered 18 volunteers, of which the data of 14 of them was used for analysis. 8 of those were without Parkinson’s disease and 6 with Parkinson’s disease. Before evaluation the volunteers were introduced to the device and application, after which they used the application and then answered questionnaires. The answers to the questionnaires, results of each exercise and the motion of hands and head during exercises were analyzed. The general reception was positive from both people with and without Parkinson’s disease and most of the volunteers wanted to use the application again. The average score in exercises and average hand velocity was lower for people with Parkinson’s disease. By analyzing the hand and head motion, it could be possible to determine the presence of tremors, however a more thorough analysis is needed.
