The usage of virtual reality in clinical practice as an alternative for conventional procedures has recently sparked the interest of health professionals. Virtual reality is a type of computer technology that provides simulated sensory feedback to allow children to participate in activities and events that are comparable to those they could face in real life. It can be used therapeutically to enhance strength, range of motion, coordination, mental concentration, problem solving, decision making, balance, and gait.
This study intended to examine the effect of a physical rehabilitation program incorporating Kinect-based virtual reality on gait characteristics, functional ability, and physical activity level in adolescents with hemophilic knee arthropathy.
