Table 3 VR applications in upper and lower limb rehabilitation
Injury type | VR rehabilitation approach | Expected benefits |
|---|---|---|
Distal radius fracture | Simulated grasping tasks, wrist deviation tracking | Prevents malunion, improves grip strength |
Rotator cuff repair | Glenohumeral rotation training with proprioceptive feedback | Reduces compensatory scapulothoracic motion |
ACL reconstruction | Gait analysis, tibiofemoral alignment monitoring | Prevents valgus/varus malalignment, improves stability |
Tibial plateau fracture | Virtual stair climbing, gait asymmetry detection | Corrects compensatory weight shifting |
