Objective	VR walking for people who cannot stand or who may become immobile through lack of activity. Primarily directed at preventing Hospital Acquired Deconditioning (HAD) and reversing HAD where this occurs.
Action	This is a VR system combining physical, social and cognitive therapy to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. This VR system provides seated social immersive (VR) walks that patients want to engage with and has demonstrated high levels of exercise compliance. This plug-and-play system requires no wifi, internet or mobile reception and delivers physical mobility data useful to healthcare professionals. ​ Primarily directed at preventing HAD in acute hospitals and the spiral down such inactivity leads to, this safe, social (2 patients) exercise can be self-administered freeing up healthcare professionals. This VR technology was developed for people in care homes and hospitals, some with dementia, and has been co-developed with Oxford and Cornwall hospitals and care homes and input from Stoke Mandeville where its ease of use and ability to motivate unwitting exercise has great value. Application in hospitals in Oxfordshire is anticipated in 2025. Motus VR technologies are designed for digital, ethnic and wide ability inclusion and is in use in UK and Hong Kong.
