A patient and family led initiative\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong>Lay abstract<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Participation in regular exercise is important for the health of all children including those that have had a solid organ transplant. Finding engaging ways to get children to be active and stay active can be a problem. Our group has tried to increase activity in patients by providing structured exercise programs in hospital, at-home, and online. Recently, one of our transplant patients and his dad told us about how they were using virtual reality (VR) gameplay as a way to exercise and recover from a transplant.\u00a0 While we worried about adding more screen-time for our patients, we thought that this idea might get kids who liked \u201cgaming\u201d to be more active. Our goal is to study 20 solid organ transplant patients, ages 8-18 years, who will play VR games for a minimum of 30 minutes\/day, 3 days\/week for 8 weeks. We believe that 8-weeks of playing VR games will motivate them to exercise and help them stay active.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><blockquote>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">\u201cThis project truly demonstrates patient engagement and we applaud Dr. Armstrong and her team for listening to their patients and caregivers.
