简要总结
Traction apophysitis of the medial epicondyle (MEC) is a common elbow injury in adolescent baseball players. The underlying pathology of the lesions associated with apophysitis seems to be due to repetitive traction stress via the medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) to the skeletally immature MEC, as seen in young baseball players. Various types of morphological changes are observed at the MEC in baseball players, and fragmentation and hypertrophy have been commonly reported.
详细描述
Phases of rehabilitation for Medial Epicondyle Apophysitis Phase I treatment involves resting and protecting the elbow to permit healing, to prevent further injury, and to control pain and swelling. Phase II treatment begins once pain and swelling have subsided to the point where the athlete can comfortably bear weight and walk from place to place. Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment (i.e. video games) and educational purposes (i.e. medical or military training). Other, distinct types of VR style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality.

盲法说明
Duple blinded (Outcomes Assessor, patients) Blinding process to participants and care providers was impossible due to the nature of intervention therapy. Data were analyzed by an impartial statistician (outcomes assessor), referring to each arm with an encoded name: Group 1 (control group) and Group 2 (virtual reality group),
