Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates preserved muscle strength and attention in high-grade glioma patients undergoing radiotherapy, suggesting augmented reality exercise prevents functional decline.

Key Points

To evaluate the impact of augmented-reality-assisted rehabilitation exercises on physical fitness, cognitive function, quality of life, and neurological biomarkers in patients with high-grade glioma receiving radiotherapy.
Conducted a randomized clinical trial in patients with high-grade glioma (N = 22) undergoing radiotherapy.
Assessed physical performance, cognitive function (ACE III), psychological metrics, blood parameters, BDNF, and S100 protein levels at baseline, completion of radiotherapy, and 3-month follow-up.
Patients in the control group experienced significant reductions in handgrip strength and ACE III attention domain scores, whereas the exercise group showed no significant decline.
Neither group showed statistically significant changes in quality of life, fatigue, BDNF, or S100 protein concentrations across the study period.
