Effect of Various Virtual Reality Exercise Individuals With Low Back Pain

March 21, 2023 updated by: hazal genc, Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

Effect of Different Virtual Reality Exercise in Nonspecific Individuals With Low Back Pain

Posture is defined as the best position formed by the segments that make up the body in a harmonious arrangement with each other. Muscle strength, which is one of the primary factors in providing a static or dynamic posture, is achieved thanks to the antigravity muscles that keep the body upright against gravity. Proper posture is ensured by a good body balance.

Detailed Description

Advances in technology can influence healthcare providers to create alternative and new treatment options. SG/LV applications have also gained momentum in the field of rehabilitation. Studies have shown that 12-week programs, especially in diseases affecting the balance and vestibular system, can achieve more effective results than standard physiotherapy programs in both upper and lower extremity functions, balance, walking parameters, fall risk and cognitive parameters. The use of popular video game-based exercises, such as XBOX, or "exergaming," has evolved to become therapeutic tools for rehabilitation. Accessible as technology evolves into more and more, equipment like biodex could be an alternative way to assess and train balance

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the severity of pain, and the patients were asked to mark the level of pain they felt before and after the treatment. The VAS is a 10-centimeter straight line, the number 0 (zero) at one end indicates no pain, and the number 10 (ten) at the other end represents unbearable pain. The points marked by the patients were measured with the help of a ruler starting from the 0 point and recorded as numerical values.
6 weeks
Y Balance Test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Y balance test, a large Y tape is drawn on the flat surface such that the angle between the front and back directions is 135 degrees, and the angle between the two back sides is 90 degrees. The person is asked to place their feet exactly in the center. It is explained that while balancing on one foot, she/he should reach anterior (front), posterolateral (posterior external), and posteromedial (posterior internal) directions with the other foot, and keep her/his weight on a stable foot. Three attempts are made before starting the test
6 weeks
Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire
Time Frame: 6 weeks
It is a questionnaire that aims to evaluate the disability levels and quality of life faced by patients due to low back pain. It includes 1 item related to pain and 9 items related to activities of daily living (personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleep, sexual life, social life and travel). Each item is measured on a 6-point rank scale between 0 and 5 points according to the scenarios it contains. At the end of the survey, the scores are summed and the percentage value is calculated for the total score. High score indicates poor functional level.
6 weeks
Algometer
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The Algometer used (JTECH Medical-Algometer Commander-USA, Electronic Algometer) is a digital algometer with an LCD display, which can be used as a wrist unit or desktop system, and where measurements can be made in kilograms or Newtons.
6 weeks
Body Awareness Questionnaire
Time Frame: 6 weeks
In 13 statements, some situations in which people feel about themselves are listed. After reading each statement, they are asked to write the number in the space to the left of the statement, evaluating from 1 to 7 the degree to which the statement is true for them.
6 weeks
Flamingo Static Balance Evaluation Test:
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Flamingo balance test (FBT) is a test used for balance measurements in the Eurofit test battery.
6 weeks
