Effects of Virtual Reality Rehabilitation in Patients With Total Knee

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of virtual rehabilitation through the Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) versus traditional rehabilitation improving the functional outcomes after primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).

Clinical Trial Description

Following ethics approval by the Ospedale San Raffaele, 84 adults aged between 45 and 80 years old will be recruited for the study, excluding people with unstable serious disease (e.g., heart or lung disease), previous orthopedics pathologies on the same side (e.g., hip arthroprosthesis), pregnancy and intake of psychotropic drugs.

Patients who consent to participate in this study will be randomized into two rehabilitation groups after TKA: experimental (virtual rehabilitation) and control (traditional rehabilitation). In the experimental arm, subjects will undergo a virtual rehabilitation training during the post-surgical rehabilitation period, in addition to passive knee range of motion device (kinetec) and functional activity (stairs). In the control arm, subjects with similar demographic characteristics to those of the experimental arm, will undergo the usual physiotherapy rehabilitation, in addition to passive knee range of motion device (kinetec) and functional activity (stairs). Both control and study interventions will be provided 60 minute daily session.

General status of patients will be undertaken for the following outcomes at the baseline and 10 days after surgery (at discharge).

The primary outcome will be the visual analogue scale (VAS); the secondary outcomes will be: the disability knee assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), the health related quality of life assessed by the EuroQol (EQ-5D), the global perceived effect assessed by the GPE score, the functional Independent measure assessed by the FIM questionnaire, the drugs assumption, the isometric strength of quadriceps and hamstrings assessed by dynamometer, the range of motion (R.O.M.) and proprioception assessed by VRRS. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
