简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial] is to investigate the effects of virtual reality (VR) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does VR have effects on pain, kinesiophobia, and function during the early rehabilitation period of patients who have undergone TKA
- Does VR contribute to the success of exercise treatment after TKA
All the patients included in the study were informed about the disease, the goals of post-surgical rehabilitation, the conditions to be considered after TKA and exercises. Sitting on the side of the bed and mobilization in or out of the room with a walker were provided with the postoperative 1st day exercises. The patients were discharged 2.5 days after surgery. The patients in both groups were taught an exercise program for home practice.
In addition to the exercise program, the virtual reality application was applied before the exercises to the VR group. The second evaluation was made 3 days after the end of the treatment in both patient groups.
Researchers compared VR and exercise to see if pain, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, knee range of motion, function, and quality of life had changed.

结局指标
主要结局
Kinesiophobia assessed by Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale
时间窗: 4th week after TKA
Kinesiophobia was evaluated by using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (total score between 17-68) (higher values indicate higher kinesiophobia). The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale includes the parameters of injury/re-injury and fear of movement; scores of 37 and above indicate the presence of high kinesiophobia (ICC: 0,806).
次要结局
- knee pain assessed by Numerical Pain Rating Scale(4th week after TKA)
- knee range of motion assessed by universal goniometer(4th week after TKA)
- subjective functional measurement assessed by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(4th week after TKA)
- quality of life assessed by Short Form 36(4th week after TKA)
- pain catastrophizing assessed by Pain Catastrophizing Scale(4th week after TKA)
- objective functional measurement assessed by functional tests(4th week after TKA)
