Abstract
Dette studie undersøger, hvordan terapeuter tager et virtual reality (VR) værktøjssæt i brug i rehabilitering af mennesker med erhvervet hjerneskade (hjerneskade opstået efter fødslen). Vi gennemførte et casestudie med fokus på terapeuterne, deres arbejde med VR-systemet og deres samspil med patienterne. Datagrundlaget bestod af videooptagelser, deltagende observation og feltnoter, som blev brugt i en interaktionsanalyse – en systematisk nærlæsning af, hvordan mennesker og teknologi interagerer i praksis. Resultaterne viser fremvoksende adfærd – nye mønstre, der opstod under brugen – og stor opfindsomhed, idet terapeuterne brugte VR-værktøjerne fleksibelt i kombination med deres traditionelle rehabiliteringsmetoder.
This study explores how therapists adopt a virtual reality (VR) toolkit in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injury (brain injury that occurs after birth). We conducted a case study focused on therapists, examining how they worked with the VR system and how they interacted with patients. Data included video recordings, participant observation, and field notes, analyzed through interaction analysis—a close, systematic look at how people and technology interact in practice. The findings show emergent behavior—new patterns that developed during use—and resourcefulness, as therapists flexibly combined the VR tools with their conventional rehabilitation methods.
