“…Some promising results have been demonstrated by rehabilitation methods based on VR [15]. Previous research has predominantly focused on investigating the effectiveness of VR exergaming in neurological disorders [4,[16][17][18] or among elderly populations [19][20][21][22], with an emphasis on balance-related outcomes.…”

To achieve a positive functional prognosis in orthopedic surgery, particularly in shoulder surgeries, effective rehabilitation is essential. Recently, there has been growing interest in the use of virtual reality (VR) in the field of orthopedics, particularly for preoperative education and training, as well as clinical and home-based rehabilitation. This report describes the process of developing an application utilizing Meta Quest 2 VR technology (Meta, CA, USA) for rehabilitation after shoulder surgery. This application assists patients in performing postoperative exercises at home by wearing VR equipment tailored to their postoperative weeks. The advantages of VR rehabilitation lie in overcoming the limitations of traditional rehabilitation methods and providing patients with a better rehabilitation experience. Moreover, automating the rehabilitation process and reducing patients' visits to clinics can lead to cost savings. This report raises expectations for the potential and scalability of VR utilization, extending beyond orthopedics to other fields. In addition, it anticipates that with better feedback and motivation, the rehabilitation effects for patients can be further enhanced.

“…Thus, the time (days) constituted the second factor. Two weeks of balance training was deemed sufficient because marked progress is usually attainable in that time frame [50,51]. EW1 proceeded over 4 days, and the subjects were trained while watching the VR content which induced only a relatively moderate/less degree of sickness as to start the overall training gently (not too abruptly).…”

Virtual reality (VR) or cyber-sickness is a serious usability problem. Postural (or balance) instability theory has emerged as one of the primary hypotheses for the cause of VR sickness. In this paper, we conducted a two-week-long experiment to observe the trends in user balance learning and sickness tolerance under different experimental conditions to analyze the potential inter-relationship between them. The experimental results have shown, aside from the obvious improvement in balance performance itself, that accompanying balance training had a stronger effect of increasing tolerance to VR sickness than mere exposure to VR. In addition, training in VR was found to be more effective than using the 2D-based medium, especially for the transfer effect to other non-training VR content.

“…Balance deficits, as a result of impaired muscle coordination and/or impaired proprioception, are observed in children with movement impairment or psychomotor delay. [1][2][3] "Balance" is defined as the ability to maintain the center of body mass over the base of support and has been related to the force of gravity, body movement disturbances, and interactions with the environment (eg, collisions, pushes). 4 Children with balance difficulties have reduced body stability during posture or movement, which results in increased risk for falls and injury.…”

Purpose: Cross-cultural adaptation of the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) into Greek. Methods: The PBS was forward-back translated and evaluated for content equivalence. The Greek PBS (PBSGR) was administered to children with movement impairments by 2 pediatric physical therapists. The scale was readministered to the same children after 3 weeks (test-retest reliability) and to children with typical development for discriminant validity. The 1-minute walk test was administered to test the scale's concurrent validity. Results: Psychometric testing was completed on 26 children with movement impairments. The scale had excellent interrater and test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Moderate correlation was observed between PBSGR and 1-minute walk. Children with movement impairment had significantly lower PBSGR scores than children with typical development. Conclusions: Acceptable reliability, concurrent validity, and discriminant validity were observed for the PBSGR.
