Poster Title: Effects of 360° Virtual Reality Embodiment Videos on Pain in Hand Osteoarthritis: A Within-Subject Pre-Post Study
Poster Session C: 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 28
What is your poster about?
“My research explores the use of spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) to facilitate the sense of embodiment (SoE) and examine its effects on chronic pain in individuals with hand osteoarthritis.”
Why did you decide to investigate this topic?
“I wanted to understand how virtual reality could be used as a practical tool for clinicians and researchers to improve health outcomes for people living with chronic pain.”
What are you working on next related to this research?
“I’m continuing to refine this work by researching an improved SVVR experience designed to facilitate SoE better and provide meaningful support for people managing chronic pain.”
What excites you most about your work?
“It’s exciting to see how advancing technology allows researchers and healthcare providers to create innovative solutions that can enhance people’s function and well-being.”
What are you most looking forward to at ACR Convergence 2025 in Chicago?
“I’m looking forward to connecting with and learning from others who are using virtual reality and other innovative technologies to improve patient outcomes.”
