Susceptibility to postoperative complications, cardiac rehabilitation is indi - cated. Therapeutic resources, such as virtual reality has been helping the rehabilitational process. The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of virtual reality in the functional rehabilitation of patients in the postoperative period. Methods: Patients were randomized into two groups, Virtual Reality (VRG, n = 30) and Control (CG, n = 30). The response to treatment was assessed through the functional independence measure (FIM), by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). Evaluations were performed preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: On the first day after surgery, patients in both groups showed decreased functional performance. However, the VRG showed lower reduction (45.7±2.3) when compared to CG (35.06±2.09, P <0.05) in first postoperative day, and no sig - nificant difference in performance on discharge day ( P >0.05). In evaluating the NHP field, we observed a significant decrease in pain score at third assessment ( P <0.05). These patients also had a higher energy level in the first evaluation ( P <0.05). There were no differences with statistical significance for emotional reactions, physical ability, and social interaction. The length of stay was significantly shorter in patients of VRG (9.4±0.5 days vs. 12.2 ± 0.9 days, P <0.05), which also had a higher 6MWD (319.9±19.3 meters vs. 263.5±15.4 meters, P <0.02). Conclusion: Adjunctive treatment with virtual reality demonstrated benefits, with better functional performance in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. 2013 artículo científico 0102-7638 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=398941889018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3989 Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular/Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular/Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.28
