Effect of Immersive Virtual Reality on Postural Control and Risk of Fall in Patients With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a major cause of functional disability in cancer survivors. Patients with CIPN typically present with numbness, tingling, burning pain, and loss of proprioception, particularly in distal extremities. The sensory and motor deficits associated with CIPN impair balance and increase the likelihood of falls, which may lead to injury, decreased independence, and reduced quality of life. Loss of proprioception and vibration sense in CIPN disrupts sensory integration required for maintaining postural control. Consequently, individuals with CIPN often demonstrate gait instability, impaired balance, and increased sway during standing and walking tasks. Recent evidence suggests that immersive VR rehabilitation is feasible and safe for individuals with moderate to severe CIPN. Additionally, VR-based interventions may improve sensory symptoms and postural stability without adverse effects. Studies have demonstrated that immersive VR training improves the integration of visual and proprioceptive information, leading to enhanced postural stability in individuals with balance impairments. Virtual reality technology has shown promising results in balance rehabilitation by providing interactive environments that enhance patient engagement and stimulate multisensory feedback mechanisms. So, the purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of immersive virtual reality on postural control and risk of fall in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Experimenteel: Conventional physical Therapy Exercise + immersive VR
Participants will receive 18 sessions over 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week. Each 60-minute session will consist of 30 minutes of immersive virtual reality-based exercise and 30 minutes of conventional physical therapy.The Immersive VR training which include Game-like interactive exercise. participant should hold two controllers. Game requires continuous anticipatory postural adjustments, frequentWeight shifting (left/right), trunk rotation, and mini squats which improve dynamic balance, reaction time, sensorimotor integration (visual + vestibular + proprioception), and postural muscle activation. |
( static balance exercise, dynamic balance exercise, proprioceptive training, and functional mobility training).

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) uses head-mounted displays to place users inside interactive, 3D digital environments that actively train human postural control.VR-based interventions may improve sensory symptoms and postural stability without adverse effects. Studies have demonstrated that immersive VR training improves the integration of visual and proprioceptive information, leading to enhanced postural stability in individuals with balance impairments.

Overall stability Index (OSI) by The Biodex balance system (BBS)
Tijdsspanne: Baseline to 6 week post intervention
|
The test is commonly performed under both static and dynamic conditions, with the platform stability level adjusted (e.g., levels 8 to 1, where lower levels indicate greater instability). Patients are instructed to maintain their center of gravity within the target displayed on the screen while minimizing platform movement. Each trial usually lasts 20-30 seconds and is repeated 2-3 times, with rest intervals between trials to avoid fatigue. The Biodex system automatically calculates the stability indices based on the degree of platform tilt in different directions: the OSI reflects overall variance of platform displacement. |

Fall Risk Index (FRI) by the biodex balance system
Tijdsspanne: Baseline to 6 weeks post intervention

Fall Risk Index (FRI) can be automatically calculated by the biodex balance system to quantify the individual's risk of falling. Higher values indicate greater instability and increased fall risk. |

The modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance (MCTSIB):-
The higher the sway index,the more unsteady the person was during the test. The patient performed three trials; the trial duration was 20 seconds with a rest period of 25 seconds. |

The Berg Balance Scale
Scores ranging from 41 to 56 indicate low fall risk and generally reflect independent mobility, while scores between 21 and 40 suggest a moderate fall risk with noticeable balance impairments and a potential need for assistance during activities. Scores from 0 to 20 represent a high fall risk and are associated with severe balance deficits and a high level of dependence. |
