Details and patient eligibility

About

The number of knee arthroplasties performed each year is constantly increasing. Although the outcome is generally favourable, 10-20% do not achieve a satisfactory clinical result. This study evaluates the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality rehabilitation in older people who have undergone knee arthroplasty surgery. The 6 Meter Walking Test is used to determine the improvement of patients after the procedure.
