This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial investigated whether virtual reality-guided exercise could help people with chronic knee osteoarthritis manage their pain and improve their daily function. Participants either received standard hospital rehabilitation exercises alone, or received the same standard exercises plus virtual reality-based exercise sessions. The study examined whether adding this immersive technology to traditional rehabilitation made a meaningful difference in pain relief and quality of life.
Virtual reality exercise has shown promise in helping people recover from stroke, Parkinson's disease, and other conditions, but there was limited evidence about whether it works specifically for knee osteoarthritis. This trial was designed to fill that gap and determine if this technology could offer patients a new, engaging way to rehabilitate their knees.
Participants attended rehabilitation sessions at the hospital five days a week for a total of 15 sessions. Some participants completed only the standard rehabilitation exercises, while others did the same standard exercises but also used virtual reality technology to guide and enhance their movements. The virtual reality sessions made the exercises more interactive and engaging by providing a computer-generated environment where participants could see and respond to their movements in real time.
