- Brief Summary
One of the main challenges facing the therapist in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis is to motivate the patient throughout conventional therapy. As noted in a recent review, individuals are more interested in leisure activities rather than performing repetitive tasks during therapy. Virtual reality (VR) is a three-dimensional computer-aided programme built with a system that creates virtual reality movements and generates a high amount of visual and sensory feedback during exercise. As a result, virtual reality (VR) has been used in many medical indications and has been shown to promote adherence to treatment by increasing patient motivation.
- Detailed Description
Different VR systems have been shown to be effective in individuals with kinesiophobia as well as stroke patients. Virtual reality guided exercise is a proven method already used in stroke, Parkinson's, cerebral palsy rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation and orthopaedic rehabilitation. However, there is limited data on its effectiveness in patients with adhesive capsulitis. This randomized controlled study will contribute to the literature by investigating the effects of VR based exercises in individuals with AC

Group Intervention Description Experimental Group Virtual reality In addition to the conventional rehabilitation program at the hospital, virtual reality exercise will be applied in 15 sessions, 5 days a week. Experimental Group conventional rehabilitation In addition to the conventional rehabilitation program at the hospital, virtual reality exercise will be applied in 15 sessions, 5 days a week. Control group conventional rehabilitation The conventional rehabilitation program at the hospital will be implemented in 15 sessions, 5 days a week.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Visual Analog Scale 7th week Visual analog scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment. VAS is a 10-point Likert scale. Patients are asked to indicate their pain level, with 0 points being no pain, 5 points being moderate pain, and 10 points being unbearable pain. Increased scores indicate higher pain levels.
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) 7th week WOMAC was used to assess disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The WOMAC assesses pain, stiffness and physical function and consists of 24 items. Total score is between 24 and 120 points. A low score indicates mild illness, a high score indicates severe illness.
Biodex Balance System 7th week The balance assessment of the participants will be made with the Biodex Balance Systems device. During the measurement, patients will try to stay balanced on the device whose platform stability is adjusted.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Short Form 36 (SF36) 7th week In the study, quality of life will be evaluated using Short Form-36 (SF-36). SF-36 is not specific to any disease group. This scale consists of 36 questions; There are 8 subgroups: general health, physical function, physical role difficulty, pain, energy, social function, emotional role difficulty, and mental health. A high score is an indicator of good health.
