Authors: Ratushnyak Georgy , Biks Yuriy , Lyalyuk Andriy
Published: December 2023

Based on the results of the analysis of research on the development of scientific and methodological foundations and practical experience of organizing and managing the technological process to increase the energy efficiency of buildings, the main factors influencing the amount of energy costs during the life cycle to ensure the standard sanitary and hygienic parameters of the premises were identified. The necessity of identifying the regularities of the methodological foundations of optimization of factors influencing the energy efficiency of the enclosing structures of buildings is emphasized. It is pointed out the expediency of taking into account the total energy consumption during all stages of the life cycle of buildings when determining the energy efficiency of the enclosing structures of buildings.

Mathematical modeling of multi-parameter assessment of energy efficiency of building enclosing structures is expedient to be performed using the method of fuzzy logic and linguistic variables. The proposed hierarchical classification and formalization of the parameters influencing the energy efficiency of the enclosing structures of buildings, which are a fuzzy knowledge base combining linguistic assessments of input and output factors that affect the target function, are given.

The total energy expenditure for the entire life cycle to ensure the energy efficiency of the enclosing structures of buildings at the system level as a linguistic variable is characterized by functional dependence on the linguistic variables that characterize the energy expenditure for capital construction, operation and recycling of materials. The generalized model of the relationship between the parameters of influence at the system level on ensuring the energy efficiency of the enclosing structures of buildings as their hierarchical classification is presented in the form of a logical conclusion tree. The root of the logical conclusion tree determines the total energy consumption to ensure the energy efficiency of the enclosing structures of buildings, and the hanging vertices are the determining parameters of influence, the variation of which allows finding the optimal value of the objective function according to the specified criteria.
Constitutions as a legal model of social convergent technology (on the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of Russia)
Authors: Ebzeev Boris S.
Published: December 2023

This article is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of Russia. The author, who took part in the Constitutional Meeting and was a member of its Commission for finalizing the draft of the current Constitution, focuses the reader’s attention on the history of the development of the draft, as well as on its natural and positive legal foundations of the Constitution and the main issue of modern constitutionalism - the interaction of collective and individual in the organization of society and social solidarity. According to the author, the Constitution in its very essence is based on the natural law undergoing serious changes. Equally, the basis of the Constitution is philosophical positivism. The synthesis of natural law forms the normative unity of the Constitution. Such unity does not oppose the various social strata of society, but creates a space for cooperation and solidarity of society.

Published: December 2023

The question of existence and uniqueness of the continuously differentiable solution for a multifrequency system of differential equations with variable linearly transformed and integral delay is investigated. The method of averaging by fast variables on a finite interval is substantiated. An estimate of the averaging method was obtained, which clearly depends on the small parameter and the number of fast variables and their delays.
NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION FOR THE EXISTENCE OF INTERNAL TIME ON AN ORIENTED SET
Authors: Grushka Ya.
Published: December 2023

The notion of oriented set is the most elementary technical notion of the theory of changeable sets, which is needed for the general definition of changeable set notion. The main motivation for building the theory of changeable sets was the sixth Hilbert problem, that is, the problem of mathematically rigorous formulation of the fundamentals of theoretical physics. From the formal point of view oriented set is the simplest relation system with one reflexive binary relation. Oriented sets may be interpreted as simplest abstract models of sets of changing objects, evolving in the framework of the single (specified) reference frame. From the other hand in the framework of oriented sets we can give the mathematically strict and abstract definition of the notion of time as some mapping from some linearly ordered set to the power set of the set of elementary states of oriented set. Internal time may be considered as most natural time for an oriented set. From intuitive point of view internal time is the time, which can be “observed from the inside” of the oriented set. In the present paper we solve the problem of the existence of internal time on an oriented set without any synchronization. We prove necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such time.
ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE CHARACTERISTIC FUNCTION OF ONE DISTRIBUTION OF THE JESSEN-WINTNER TYPE
Authors: Makarchuk O.
Published: December 2023

The paper considers a random variable, which is the sum of a pointwise convergent random power series with independent discretely distributed terms that take on integer values. The corresponding random variable is a random variable represented by an s-fraction with a redundant set of digits and is included in the set of distributions of the Jessen-Wintner type. The Lebesgue distribution function of a random variable represented by an s-fraction with a redundant set of digits contains only a discrete or absolutely continuous or singular component. Emphasis in the paper is on the study of the asymptotic properties of the modulus of the characteristic function of a random variable represented by an s-fraction with a redundant set of digits. We consider the value $L$, which is the upper limit at infinity of the modulus of the characteristic function of the corresponding random variable. The value $L$ being equal to one and zero for a discrete and absolutely continuous distribution, respectively, can acquire an arbitrary predetermined value from the segment $[0;1]$ for a singular distribution. $L$ is a measure of closeness to a discrete, absolutely continuous or singular distribution. Calculating exact values $L$ or their estimation for singular distributions is a non-trivial, complex task.

In the work, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality of the value of the upper bound at infinity to the modulus of the characteristic function of the corresponding random variable, under certain asymptotic restrictions, were found. The limit ratios $L$ for the calculation are indicated, in particular it is shown that the value $L$ is the limit value of a certain subsequence of modules of the Fourier-Stiltjes coefficients.

Islamic Law, the State, and Human Rights: The Contestation of Interfaith Marriage Discourse on Social Media in Indonesia
Authors: Sonafist Y , Yuningsih Henny
Published: December 2023

This study aimed at explaining the contestation of interfaith marriage discourse on social media, specifically on Instagram. The issue of interfaith marriage was quickly responded by social media users, not only by posting on their own accounts, but also by commenting on those posts of other people’s accounts. This study attempted to map Instagram media users’ comments on posts about interfaith marriage and to see the contestation of these comments in the context of the discourse on Islamic law, the state, and human rights in Indonesia. Qualitative research method was used in conducting this study. Data were collected from netizens’ comments on the issue of interfaith marriage, specifically the issue of interfaith marriage conducted by a member of Presidential Special Staff, the District Court’s decision on granting the interfaith marriage, and the Supreme Court’s circular on interfaith marriage. These comments were randomly selected and then analyzed using qualitative content analysis methods. This study found that: first, there were two response models for social media users when commenting on the issue of interfaith marriage on Instagram, they were the responses of acceptance and rejection. The narrative of the comments that accepted the idea of interfaith marriage emphasized human rights, diversity, freedom, and criticized the state’s involvement in private matters. Meanwhile, the narrative of comments that rejected the idea of interfaith marriage mostly refered to the provisions of Islamic law and state law. Second, based on these two response models, there was a contestation over the discourse of interfaith marriage in the context of Islamic law, the state, and human rights. However, this contestation was not based on a deep understanding of human rights and legal discourse. This contestation might have an impact on the public’s lack of legal understanding of interfaith marriage and had the potential to cause conflict on social media. This study confirmed that contestation of legal discourse came not only from people who had authority, but also from people who did not have in-depth legal knowledge.

Published: December 2023

Problems on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) in social life seem to be more real currently. Even though religions prohibit the behaviors of LGBT, the positive law, which is Law no.1 of 1946 on Criminal Code, does not regulate legal sanctions on LGBT. This article studies the importance of positive laws that regulate legal sanctions on the actors who practice LGBT in public. Still, as important as others, this article also tries to find out the causes of sexual disorder behaviors of LGBT. This research applies the method of normative law. Still, this research was conducted by studying the literature and collecting secondary data. After gaining the data, they were analyzed to answer the formulated problems. The research results show there must be legal sanctions on LGBT behaviors. The nation should not punish LGBT-infected people, but she must punish the people who practice LGBT in public. There are many factors causing LGBT. They are the influence of environment, childhood trauma, same-sex harassment or abuse, inferior feeling and fear of loving the opposite sex, family problem such as divorced parents, etc

Published: December 2023

Breast cancer is a major cause of female deaths, especially in underdeveloped countries. It can be treated if diagnosed early and chances of survival are high if treated appropriately and timely. For timely and accurate automated diagnosis, machine learning approaches tend to show better results than traditional methods, however, accuracy lacks the desired level. This study proposes the use of an ensemble model to provide accurate detection of breast cancer. The proposed model uses the random forest and support vector classifier along with automatic feature extraction using an optimized convolutional neural network (CNN). Extensive experiments are performed using the original, as well as, CNN-based features to analyze the performance of the deployed models. Experimental results involving the use of the Wisconsin dataset reveal that CNN-based features provide better results than the original features. It is observed that the proposed model achieves an accuracy of 99.99% for breast cancer detection. Performance comparison with existing state-of-the-art models is also carried out showing the superior performance of the proposed model.

Authors: Al-Shanti Ayman , Jebreel Mohammad , Qabajeh Majed , Nassoura Abdelrahim , Airout Rana
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND:

The insurance sector in Jordan stands to gain significant benefits from the adoption of Accounting Intelligence (AI) systems, which can transform decision-making processes, enhance operational efficiency, and elevate customer satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE:

This study investigates the mediating role of organizational culture in the relationship between three key organizational factors—top management support (TMS), information technology (IT), and organizational size (OS)—and AI system adoption (AIA) in Jordan’s insurance companies.

METHODS:

Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 274 employees from Jordanian insurance companies. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the study’s hypotheses and ensure data reliability and validity.

RESULTS:

The findings revealed substantial support for the relationships between TMS, IT, OS, and organizational culture (ORC). Additionally, organizational culture emerged as a mediating factor influencing AI system adoption (AIA) adoption. However, certain direct relationships, such as ORC and AIA, and the mediating role of organizational culture in the relationship between IT and AIA, were context-dependent and lacked support.

IMPLICATIONS:

Organizational culture plays a critical role in mediating the relationship between key organizational factors and AIA in Jordan’s insurance sector.
Attribute reductions based on δ-fusion condition entropy and harmonic similarity degree in interval-valued decision systems
Authors: Liu Xia , Chen Benwei
Published: December 2023

This paper defines an improved similarity degree based on inclusion degree as well as advanced information system based on interval coverage and credibility, and thus an attribute reduction framework embodying 4×2 = 8 reduct algorithms is systematically constructed for application and optimization in interval-valued decision systems. Firstly, a harmonic similarity degree is constructed by introducing interval inclusion degree and harmonic average mechanism, which has better semantic interpretation and robustness. Secondly, interval credibility degree and coverage degree are defined for information fusion, and they are combined to propose a δ-fusion condition entropy. The improved condition entropy achieves the information reinforcement and integrity by dual quantization fusion of credibility and coverage, and it obtains measure development from granularity monotonicity to non-monotonicity. In addition, information and joint entropies are also constructed to obtain system equations. Furthermore, 8 reduct algorithms are designed by using attribute significance for heuristic searches. Finally, data experiments show that our five novel reduct algorithms are superior to the three contrast algorithms on classification performance, which also further verify the effectiveness of proposed similarity degree, information measures and attribute reductions.
High-speed pupil dynamic tracking algorithm for RAPD measurement equipment utilizing gray-level features
Authors: Dong Yue-Fang , Fu Wei-wei , Zhou Zhe , Shi Guo-Hua
Published: December 2023

Relative pupillary afferent disorder (RAPD) plays a crucial role in diagnosing optic nerve dysfunction. This paper introduces an innovative equipment design with a high-speed pupil detection algorithm and a binocular independent stimulation optical path. The proposed algorithm utilizes the grayscale characteristics of the pupil region to achieve rapid and accurate pupil detection and tracking. Initially, a pupil threshold is estimated using eigenvalues, enabling the calculation of the pupil centroid. Subsequently, leveraging the unique characteristics of the pupil region, a dynamic tracking algorithm, a second-order partial derivative threshold algorithm, and a pupil diameter extraction algorithm are employed to precisely locate the centroid. By incorporating a binocular independent stimulus light path design, the algorithm overcomes limitations associated with the current measurement equipment. The experimental results demonstrate the algorithm’s high robustness and fast detection speed, meeting the tracking speed requirement of 1250 frames per second for a single eye. These advancements have the potential to significantly enhance the diagnosis and assessment of optic nerve dysfunction.

Innovative exponential TODIM-CoCoSo framework for uncertain multiple-attribute group decision-making in the effectiveness evaluation of short video marketing strategies
Authors: Zhang Bin
Published: December 2023

In recent years, e-commerce live streaming and short video marketing supported by big data and artificial intelligence technology have flourished, adding new sales models for e-commerce products to mass consumption, promoting the multimodal development of the e-commerce industry, giving new impetus and connotation to economic and social development, and being an effective means to achieve high-quality development in the new era. The effectiveness evaluation of short video marketing strategies is a multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. Recently, the Exponential TODIM technique and Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) technique has been employed to cope with MAGDM issues. The interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy sets (IVPFSs) are employed as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the effectiveness evaluation of short video marketing strategies. In this paper, the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) (IVPF-ExpTODIM-CoCoSo) technique is constructed to solve the MAGDM under IVPFSs. In the end, a numerical case study for effectiveness evaluation of short video marketing strategies is given to validate the proposed technique. The main contributions of this paper are outlined: (1) the Exp-TODIM and CoCoSo technique has been extended to IVPFSs; (2) Information Entropy is employed to manage the weight values under IVPFSs. (3) the IVPF-ExpTODIM-CoCoSo technique is founded to implement the MAGDM under IVPFSs; (4) a numerical case study for effectiveness evaluation of short video marketing strategies and some comparative analysis is supplied to verify the IVPF-ExpTODIM-CoCoSo technique.

Published: December 2023

PURPOSE: This article provides an update to the 2018 Spina Bifida Association’s Transition to Adult Care Guidelines. METHODS: A workgroup of topic experts was convened including authors from the initial guideline workgroup. The workgroup reviewed and updated the primary, secondary, and tertiary outcome goals, clinical questions, and guideline recommendations based on a literature review. RESULTS: Twenty-two additional articles were identified from the literature search. Updated references included observational studies describing transition to adult care outcomes, transition care model initiatives, and a validated self-management assessment tool. CONCLUSION: Structured transition initiatives increase the likelihood of establishing with adult care, decrease acute care use for young adults with spina bifida, and have the potential to improve quality of life and optimize chronic condition management. However, there is still a need to implement structure transition practices more broadly for this population using these recommended guidelines.

Authors: Michailidou Efterpi , Korda Athanasia , Wyss Thomas , Bardins Stanislav , Schneider Erich , Morrison Miranda , Wagner Franca , Caversaccio Marco D. , Mantokoudis Georgios
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: A normal video Head Impulse Test is the gold standard in the emergency department to rule-in patients with an acute vestibular syndrome and a stroke. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of vHIT metrics regarding the vestibulo-ocular reflex gain and the corrective saccades in detecting vestibular strokes. METHODS: Prospective cross-sectional study (convenience sample) of patients presenting with acute vestibular syndrome in the emergency department of a tertiary referral centre between February 2015 and May 2020. We screened 1677 patients and enrolled 76 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria of acute vestibular syndrome. All patients underwent video head impulse test with automated and manual data analysis. A delayed MRI served as a gold standard for vestibular stroke confirmation. RESULTS: Out of 76 patients, 52 were diagnosed with acute unilateral vestibulopathy and 24 with vestibular strokes. The overall accuracy of detecting stroke with an automated vestibulo-ocular reflex gain was 86.8%, compared to 77.6% for cumulative saccade amplitude and automatic saccade mean peak velocity measured by an expert and 71% for cumulative saccade amplitude and saccade mean peak velocity measured automatically. Gain misclassified 13.1% of the patients as false positive or false negative, manual cumulative saccade amplitude and saccade mean peak velocity 22.3%, and automated cumulative saccade amplitude and saccade mean peak velocity 28.9% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We found a better accuracy of video head impulse test for the diagnosis of vestibular strokes when using the vestibulo-ocular reflex gain than using saccade metrics. Nevertheless, saccades provide an additional and important information for video head impulse test evaluation. The automated saccade detection algorithm is not yet perfect compared to expert analysis, but it may become a valuable tool for future non-expert video head impulse test evaluations.

Assessment of Non-adherence to Antidiabetic Medication and Its Associated Factors in Context of Developing Countries
Authors: Seyoum Fikadu
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Globally, diabetic mellitus affects more than 285 million people. Individuals with diabetic mellitus are highly susceptible to various acute and chronic complications of the disease. Hence, effective management with lifestyle modification and various pharmacological treatments is paramount to preventing morbidity, mortality, and economic costs. However, only a few patients achieve the target glycaemic control due to poor medication adherence habits. Poor adherence to antidiabetic medications is the single most important reason for uncontrolled diabetes, serious complications, and the wastage of health care resources in developing countries like Ethiopia.

OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this review is to assess non-adherence to antidiabetic medication and its associated factors in the context of Ethiopia.

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study design has applied to collect secondary data from related publications online.

METHOD: Electronic databases, including Web of Science, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, used to systematically search without limitation of publication date and status.

RESULT AND CONCLUSION: In a limited health care system like Ethiopia, low diabetic education, economic instability, low literacy levels, and restricted access to healthcare facilities are among the factors contributing to the increased incidence of medication non-adherence among known diabetic patients. Additionally, self-management practice is generally low among diabetic patients in low-income countries like Ethiopia. This implies a critical need for educational empowerment. A number of motivations, such as scheduled home visits by health workers to evaluate and strengthen adherence to medications, sound important. Furthermore, strategies including viable cost reduction medications and encouraging low-priced, high-efficacy drugs may increase patient access to anti-diabetic.
Kant e Berkeley
Authors: Braga David Barroso
Published: December 2023

Tendo em vista que a estratégia de Kant para refutar o idealismo na Crítica da Razão Pura de 1781 consistiu em defender que o nosso conhecimento legítimo se restringe à representações, a primeira resenha crítica dessa obra, publicada anonimamente em 1782, mas atribuída a Garve e a Feder, acusa Kant de ser tão idealista quanto Berkeley. O presente artigo tem por objetivo estabelecer aproximações e, principalmente, distanciamentos entre o idealismo transcendental de Kant e o idealismo dogmático de Berkeley, uma vez que a equiparação entre esses pensadores modernos se tornou recorrente ao longo da história da filosofia. Para tanto, estrutura-se esse artigo a partir da dos Prolegômenos a Toda a Metafísica Futura, uma vez que é nesta obra de 1783 que Kant responde às questões colocadas por Garve e Feder.

Published: December 2023

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common tachyarrhythmia requiring emergency cardiac care in newborns. Neonatal paroxysmal SVT sustained by an atrioventricular node or accessory pathway reentry mechanism, if refractory can lead to congestive cardiac failure, cardiogenic shock, NEC, and death. We report the case of a 14-day-old male full-term neonate diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome after evaluation for refractory SVT. This case report emphasizes the importance of evaluating cases of neonatal SVT that require multiple doses of adenosine for reversal, with serial electrocardiography and electrocardiographic studies to identify the underlying cause.

Ewing sarcoma is the second most common tumor in children and young adults. Primitive neuroectodermal tumors/Ewing sarcoma family consist of small round cell of neuroectodermal origin. Ewing sarcoma commonly arises from long bones and pelvic region but extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a very rare tumor with highly malignant potential associated with poor outcome. We present a case series of two cases, one is from the ovary in a 24-year-old young, married, multiparous woman who presented with metastatic disease and was treated with palliative chemotherapy. The second is an Ewing sarcoma arising from the stomach in a 33-year-old male who underwent surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. EES is usually an uncommon tumor and many times, the diagnosis becomes delayed and presents with metastatic disease. Immunohistochemical and molecular analysis is a must to diagnose the EES. There are no standard treatment guidelines. Surgery, various chemotherapy regimens, and radiotherapy are given for treatment. Early diagnosis and interventions are required for better outcomes.

У статті висвітлено основні ланки етіології, патогенезу, характерні симптоми ревматоїдного артриту і поширеність захворювання в Україні та світі загалом. Описано стадії ревматоїдного артриту, сучасні підходи щодо застосування комплексної патогенетичної терапії. Відзначено, що чисельні клінічні дані свідчать про високий ступінь порушення фізичної функції та фізичної активності серед пацієнтів з ревматоїдним артритом завдяки формуванню функціональної недостатності суглобів та порушень їх мобільності. Виявлено, що важкість стану хворого ревматоїдним артритом зумовлена прогресуючим поліартритом, що супроводжується больовим синдромом та погіршенням фізичних функцій, значно впливаючи на якість життя пацієнтів. У статті узагальнені й представлені сучасні погляди і тенденції щодо особливостей застосування реабілітаційних заходів для хворих на ревматоїдний артрит. Аналіз програм фізичної терапії/реабілітації хворих на ревматоїдний артрит показав, що натепер закладено традиційні основи лікування та реабілітації тематичних хворих. Відзначено, що останнім часом напрацьовано нові методики й технології в лікуванні хворих на ревматоїдний артрит, за яких ставиться акцент на необхідності комплексного застосування засобів фізичної терапії/реабілітації. Наголошено, що в процес реабілітації та соціальної адаптації хворих на ревматоїдний артрит необхідно включати відповідні реабілітаційні заходи та технології, які б адаптували хворого до повсякденного життя, побутових і професійних умов за рахунок підвищення якості його життя. Доведено, що зазначена проблема залишається досі актуальною, а питання комплексного застосування реабілітаційних заходів у процесі відновного лікування потребує нових наукових розробок, що сприятимуть зменшенню кількості негативних наслідків захворювання, які впливають на якість життя хворих. На сучасному етапі є потреба в подальших дослідженнях, удосконаленні та комплексній стратегії щодо впровадження реабілітаційних заходів і технологій для хворих на ревматоїдний артрит для адаптації їх до повсякденного життя, побутових і професійних умов за рахунок підвищення якості життя.
ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНИХ МЕТОДИК ВІРТУАЛЬНОЇ РЕАЛЬНОСТІ У ФІЗИЧНІЙ ТЕРАПІЇ ПАЦІЄНТІВ ІЗ ТРАВМАМИ ОПОРНО-РУХОВОГО АПАРАТУ

Було встановлено, що порівняно з простим традиційним доглядом та іншими видами лікування хронічних захворювань опорно-рухового апарату лікування за допомогою віртуальної реальності забезпечує значне полегшення болю, поліпшення функціональних можливостей, зменшення симптомів і збільшення кута нахилу суглобів. Однак лікування віртуальною реальністю (ВР) пацієнтів із нехронічними болями, такими як повна заміна колінного суглоба та розтягнення зв’язок гомілкостопного суглобу, а також пацієнтів, які пройшли дуже короткий курс віртуальної реальності, не показало суттєвої різниці в параметрах, порівнюючи з простим традиційним доглядом або іншими формами лікування. У статті проведено ретельний аналіз та висвітлення потенціалу використання інноваційних методик віртуальної реальності у фізичній терапії пацієнтів, які страждають від травм опорно-рухового апарату. Метою статті є дослідження можливостей, ефективності та переваг імплементації ВР у процес реабілітації цільової аудиторії. Здійснено систематичний аналіз сучасних наукових джерел, включаючи наукові статті, дослідження та експертні думки, пов’язані із застосуванням інноваційних методик віртуальної реальності у фізичній терапії. Надано оцінку впливу ВР на пацієнтів із захворюваннями опорно-рухового апарату шляхом аналізу рандомізованих контрольованих досліджень (РКД). Бази даних – PubMed, IEEEіMEDLINE. Після проведення систематичного аналізу наукових джерел та оцінки ефективності методик ВР у фізичній терапії пацієнтів з травмами опорно-рухового апарату отримано вагомі результати, які свідчать про потужний потенціал ВР у реабілітаційній практиці. Зазначена революційна зміна у способах лікування виявилася вже не лише технологічною новацією, але й значущим кроком у покращенні ефективності та якості реабілітаційного процесу. Відзначено, що ефективність методик ВР підтверджується наявними даними й дослідженнями, які підтримують відмінні результати відновлення функцій пацієнтів. Визначено, що особливо прогресивними є підходи, які комбінують ігрові елементи з традиційними фізіотерапевтичними вправами. Інноваційні методики дозволяють створити індивідуалізовані та мотивуючі програми, що сприяють поліпшенню моторних навичок, рухового контролю та загального фізичного стану пацієнтів. Віртуальна реальність створює занурене та захоплююче середовище, що допомагає забути про біль і стрес, а також забезпечує більш позитивний підхід до реабілітації.
