简要总结
The number of knee arthroplasties performed each year is constantly increasing. Although the outcome is generally favourable, 10-20% do not achieve a satisfactory clinical result. This study evaluates the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality rehabilitation in older people who have undergone knee arthroplasty surgery. The 6 Meter Walking Test is used to determine the improvement of patients after the procedure.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in six meter walking test (6-MWT) score
时间窗: Baseline, up to three an six months.
Six-meter walking test is a a well-established outcome measure in a variety of diseases. It is accurate, reproducible, simple to administer, and well tolerated. The 6MWT is a robust assessment tool for use in clinical trials given its ability to quantitatively evaluate ambulation in a controlled environment. Participants will be asked to do quick laps in a flat corridor for 6 minutes with the verbal stimulus provided by the assessor at the end of each lap. A significant improvement threshold after surgery could be between 26 and 55m
