Virtual Reality Games to Help Balance in Women with Bone Loss

This trial is testing whether virtual reality applications—video games designed for therapy—can help postmenopausal women with osteoporosis improve their balance, reduce fall risk, and improve quality of life. You would be randomly assigned to either use virtual reality games or do traditional exercise and physical therapy. The study will measure how well each approach works for strengthening balance and reducing symptoms.

Women after menopause lose bone density rapidly, which weakens their bones and makes them more likely to fall and fracture. While regular exercise helps, there's limited research on whether interactive video games in virtual reality could be an effective or more engaging way to improve balance and prevent falls in this population.
