2026年7月28日 更新者：Yassen Motamed Abd El Wahab、Cairo University

Effect of Virtual Reality on Kyphotic Angle and Quality of Life in Adolescents With Thoracic Hyperkyphosis

The study aims to:

  1. Investigate the effect of virtual reality on kyphotic angle in adolescents with thoracic hyperkyphosis.
  2. Investigate the effect of virtual reality on quality of life in adolescents with thoracic hyperkyphosis.
  3. Investigate the effect of virtual reality on the enjoyment level in adolescents with thoracic hyperkyphosis.

详细说明

The adolescent period is marked by rapid physical changes that increase vulnerability to poor posture, potentially leading to chronic pain and spinal deformities in adulthood. High prevalence rates of incorrect posture (65%) necessitate early diagnosis and intervention, including suitable treatment and rehabilitation programs. Traditional physiotherapy techniques often struggle with adolescent engagement, prompting exploration of VR-based exercise therapy, which has demonstrated improved user adherence and effectiveness in addressing postural disorders. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VR training on the kyphotic angle in adolescents with thoracic hyperkyphosis, presenting a novel therapeutic strategy that enhances adherence among those resistant to conventional methods.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
有源比较器：conventional exercise program
The control group included 23 patients and received a comprehensive corrective exercise program for thoracic hyperkyphosis
其他：comprehensive corrective exercise program

treatment will last for 40-50 minutes, 3 days a week for 12 weeks

Exercises will include:

  • Chin tuck
  • Stretching of neck extensor muscles
  • Stretching of pectoral muscle groups in standing and supine positions
  • T, Y, W and I exercises in a prone position.
  • Postural perception training (PPT)
  • Thoracic self-mobilization
实验性的：Virtual reality-based posture training
The experimental group will receive the same program as the control group in addition to virtual reality-based posture training using Meta Quest 3 - a virtual reality headset with the Totally Basketball game.
其他：comprehensive corrective exercise program

treatment will last for 40-50 minutes, 3 days a week for 12 weeks

Exercises will include:

  • Chin tuck
  • Stretching of neck extensor muscles
  • Stretching of pectoral muscle groups in standing and supine positions
  • T, Y, W and I exercises in a prone position.
  • Postural perception training (PPT)
  • Thoracic self-mobilization
设备：Virtual reality-based posture training
Meta Quest 3 is an Mixed Reality headset providing augmented reality and virtual reality capabilities, allowing users to engage in both physical and virtual environments. Participants will play the "Totally Basketball" game, which promotes upper body engagement and postural correction through movements focusing on cervical retraction, scapular stabilization, and thoracic extension. The virtual reality sessions will last 20 minutes, scheduled after 30 to 45 minutes of conventional exercises, three times a week for eight weeks. Each session includes an introduction to the headset, a safety briefing, supervised trials, and active gameplay aimed at addressing thoracic hyperkyphosis with physiotherapist oversight to ensure safety and proper technique.

研究衡量的是什么？

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
assessment of Kyphotic Angle
大体时间：At baseline and after 12 weeks
Kyphotic angle assessment using a bubble inclinometer involves the following steps: firstly, zero the inclinometer on a vertical wall. Next, identify the spinous processes of C7, T1, T12, and L1. Place the cephalic foot of the inclinometer on the C7 spinous process, then repeat for the lower thoracic spine with the caudal foot on T12. The kyphosis angle is calculated by adding the angles from both inclinometer placements.
At baseline and after 12 weeks

次要结果测量

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
assessment of Quality of Life
大体时间：At baseline and after 12 weeks
The questionnaire will be administered twice: at baseline and post-intervention, with participants receiving a printed Arabic copy and instructions for completion. The Arabic Kidscreen-27 includes 27 items across five dimensions: physical health (5 items), psychological health (7 items), autonomy and parents (7 items), peers and social support (4 items), and school and environment (4 items). Responses use a five-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life. Completion is estimated to take 10-15 minutes.
At baseline and after 12 weeks
assessment of Participant Enjoyment
大体时间：At baseline and after 12 weeks

Participant enjoyment assessment using a 7-point Likert scale:

A 7-point Likert scale will be administered in person, immediately following each virtual reality session. The patient will rate his enjoyment level according to the following:

How enjoyable do you find the session?

1=very enjoyable, 2=slightly enjoyable, 3=enjoyable, 4=neutral, 5=unenjoyable, 6= slightly unenjoyable, and 7= very unenjoyable
At baseline and after 12 weeks
