Tato diplomová práce se zabývá využitím imerzivní virtuální reality pro terapii pacientů s bolestmi ramenního kloubu. Jejím hlavním cílem je komparativní metodou zhodnotit účinnost kombinované terapie včetně virtuální reality oproti konvenčnímu přístupu. V teoretické části je objasněna anatomie a biomechanika ramenního kloubu. V rámci rešerše jsou ...

Introduction: Crowded spaces, especially during significant events or rituals, pose challenges in terms of safety and management. This study introduces a novel approach to address these challenges by leveraging Virtual Reality Exposure (VRE) as a potential solution. Using the Tawaf ritual around the Kaaba and the specific act of touching the Black ...
This article contributes to the growing body of research on space, place, and immersion in video games and offers an analysis of placeness in Coffee Talk (Toge Productions, 2020) and Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly (Toge Productions, 2023). Building on the work of Michel Foucault (1967/2008), this article begins by analyzing the coffee ...

Immersion is a crucial component to characterizing virtual reality (VR) and discovering its many implications for our lives. Studies have defined immersion as the extent that virtual environments submerge users’ perceptual systems, shut out the physical environments’ inputs, and induce engrossment in users. The present study sought to further under...

Background Simulation-based trauma education facilitates repeated practice in a controlled and safer environment for the learner without any risk to the patient's well-being. Moulage contributes to the perception of reality during training using standardized patients. However, the high cost of commercial moulage items is often prohibitive for regul...

Individuals with obesity are recommended to practice physical activity with reduced weight bearing, such as water-based exercises. However, the magnitude of the vertical ground reaction force (Fz) during these exercises is unknown in this population. This study aimed to verify the magnitude of peak Fz (Fzpeak) in women with obesity during different...

This study investigates the effects of immersion on spatial ability in virtual reality (VR) and the influence of sense of presence, simulation sickness, and cognitive load. Participants performed a spatial ability task using a head-mounted display in an immersive or non-immersive VR condition. Contrary to expectations, immersive VR did not enhance ...
ObjectiveThe present study asked if bilinguals who are immersed in their nondominant language are more likely to know some words only in their nondominant language.MethodThe either-language scoring benefit (ELSB) reflects how many more points bilinguals get when credited for pictures named regardless of which language is used. We asked if the ELSB ...
Background: Given that VR is applied in multiple domains, understanding the effects of cyber-sickness on human cognition and motor skills and the factors contributing to cybersickness gains urgency. This study aimed to explore the predictors of cybersickness and its interplay with cognitive and motor skills. Methods: 30 participants, 20-45 years ol...
