Abstract
[Purpose] Although many home programs have been implemented, they remain difficult to establish and continue. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of home programs and verify the implementation rate. [Subjects and Methods] The study included ten subjects who attended commuting rehabilitation. The home program was implemented by watching a video on a head-mounted display (HMD). The content of the program was a combination of stretching and other exercises that could be performed on the floor. The program was conducted for 1 month, twice a day in the morning and evening for a duration of 20 minutes. We measured the 5 m/10 m walking time, and the TUG and CS-30 tests were performed before and after the intervention. We also asked the participants to fill a questionnaire on the day of implementation and provide a free description before and after the date of implementation using an HMD. [Results] In the comparison before and after the home program, there was no significant difference in physical function in any of the items. There was also no correlation between the physical function assessment after the intervention and the rate of implementation. However, there was a significant difference in the implementation rate before and after implementation using the HMD. [Conclusion] We found that the implementation rate of home programs using HMDs was high.
