• Conditions: To Evaluate the Effect of Exercise With Virtual Glasses on Pain, Activities of Daily Living and Quality of Life
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Exercising with virtual reality glasses

Detailed Description

The purpose of this research; exercise performed with virtual reality glasses for individuals with lumbar disc herniation; The aim of this study is to examine the effects on pain, activities of daily living, quality of life and falling.

This research was carried out experimentally with pretest-posttest control group.

The research was carried out between December 2019 and August 2022. The research was carried out in the Physical Therapy Unit of Erzurum Atatürk University Health Practice and Research Center.

The universe of the research; It consisted of 68 patients with LDH who came to Atatürk University Health Application and Research Center Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit between 13 September 2022 and 7 January 2022.

n data collection, "Patient Identification Form" (Appendix-5), "Visual Analog Scale" (Appendix-6), "Oswestry Disability Index" (Appendix-7), "SF-36 Quality of Life Scale" (Appendix-8) and Falling Risk Score result is used.The patients in the experimental and control groups were first given training on protection of back health and exercise.

The patients in the experimental group did waist exercises with virtual reality glasses for 2 sessions, 28 sessions in total, every weekday.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Collection of pre-test data from the experimental and control groups; Asking vas, ODI, sf-36 quality of life scale questions	Other: Exercising with virtual reality glasses; GIVE PATIENTS EXERCISE WITH A 360 DEGREE EXERCISE VIDEO INSIDE VIRTUAL REALITY EYES. Exercising with the training material taught at the beginning of the training; Other Names: Exercising without virtual reality glasses
Experimental: Calculation of the pre-test fall risk index; Calculation of patients' fall risk indices	Other: Exercising with virtual reality glasses; GIVE PATIENTS EXERCISE WITH A 360 DEGREE EXERCISE VIDEO INSIDE VIRTUAL REALITY EYES. Exercising with the training material taught at the beginning of the training; Other Names: Exercising without virtual reality glasses
Experimental: giving back health education to the experimental and control groups; Back health training was given to both groups, and the experimental group was given training on using virtual glasses.	Other: Exercising with virtual reality glasses; GIVE PATIENTS EXERCISE WITH A 360 DEGREE EXERCISE VIDEO INSIDE VIRTUAL REALITY EYES. Exercising with the training material taught at the beginning of the training; Other Names: Exercising without virtual reality glasses
Experimental: collection of post-test data for the experimental and control group; Asking vas, ODI, sf-36 quality of life scale questions	Other: Exercising with virtual reality glasses; GIVE PATIENTS EXERCISE WITH A 360 DEGREE EXERCISE VIDEO INSIDE VIRTUAL REALITY EYES. Exercising with the training material taught at the beginning of the training; Other Names: Exercising without virtual reality glasses
Experimental: Calculation of the post-test fall risk index; Calculation of patients' fall risk indices	Other: Exercising with virtual reality glasses; GIVE PATIENTS EXERCISE WITH A 360 DEGREE EXERCISE VIDEO INSIDE VIRTUAL REALITY EYES. Exercising with the training material taught at the beginning of the training; Other Names: Exercising without virtual reality glasses

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Filling in the Visual Analog scale form before the intervention fort the LDH patients icluded in the study	The minimum score to be taken is 0 and the maximum score is 10. İt is known that as the score obtained increases,the pain felt by the patient increases	Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)
Filling in the SF-36 Ouality of life scale form before the intervention fort the LDH patients icluded in the study	The minimum score obtained from the SF-36 quality of life scale is 0 and the maximum score is 100. The higher the score, the higher the patient's quality of life	Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)
Filling in the Oswestry Disability Index form before the intervention fort the LDH patients icluded in the study	The minimum score obtained from the Oswestry Disability Index is 0 and the maximum score is 50. The lower the score, the greater the independence of the patient in his daily activities	Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)
Calculation of the fall risk index based on % points before the intervention fort he LDH patients included in the study	The lowest score to be taken from the risk index is 0 and the highest score is 100. The lower the Score received, the lower the risk	Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Filling the Visual Analog scale form for LDH patients who have completed their 3-week intervention	The minimum score to be taken is 0 and the maximum score is 10. İt is known that as the score obtained increases,the pain felt by the patient increases	After 3 weeks of intervention
Filling the Oswestry Disability Index form for LDH patients who have completed their 3-week intervention	The minimum score obtained from the Oswestry Disability Index is 0 and the maximum score is 50. The lower the score, the greater the independence of the patient in his daily activities	After 3 weeks of intervention
Filling the SF-36 Ouality of life scale form for LDH patients who have completed their 3-week intervention	The minimum score obtained from the SF-36 quality of life scale is 0 and the maximum score is 100. The higher the score, the higher the patient's quality of life	After 3 weeks of intervention
Calculation of the fall risk index of LDH patients over % points after 3 weeks of intervention	The lowest score to be taken from the risk index is 0 and the highest score is 100. The lower the Score received, the lower the risk	After 3 weeks of intervention
