Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Influence of virtual reality games(Wii Fit) on knee proprioception after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) will be measured in 30 postoperative patients. The age of participants will be ranged from 20 to 30 years old. Subjects will be randomly assigned to Group A is the study group and Group B is the control group.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Wii fit protocol of virtual reality games
  • Procedure: Regular exercise rehabilitation protocol
N/A

Detailed Description

Group A will receive the Wii fit protocol of virtual reality games, in addition to the regular exercise rehabilitation protocol, for 3 non-consecutive days per week, for 8 weeks , 40 minutes for each session. Group B will receive the regular exercise rehabilitation protocol only for 3 non-consecutive days per week for 8 weeks, 40 minutes for each session.

A Universal Weight and Height Scale: will be used to measure the patient's BMI.

Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer: will be used to assess the knee proprioception of the affected operated leg at three target angles (30,45,and 60 degrees).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Group A: Study group

They will receive the Wii fit protocol of virtual reality games for 40 minutes, 3 times per week, for 8 weeks, in addition to the regular exercise rehabilitation protocol according to the criterion of Adams et al. (2012).

Procedure: Wii fit protocol of virtual reality games
the Wii fit session by standing on the Wii fit board with bare feet, hands on hips and both eyes open. Pretest on Wii fit was done to make the subject familiar with the board and tasks of weight shift .

Procedure: Regular exercise rehabilitation protocol
It will be according to the criterion of Adams et al. (2012).

Experimental: Group B: Control group

They will receive the regular exercise rehabilitation protocol only for 40 minutes, for 3 days per week, for 8 weeks.

Procedure: Regular exercise rehabilitation protocol
It will be according to the criterion of Adams et al. (2012).
