What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the effects of virtual reality-based interventions on foot function, foot pressure, and balance in sedentary individuals. The study aims to compare how different virtual reality and traditional exercise programs impact these aspects to better understand rehabilitation approaches for foot-related conditions. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups. One group uses a virtual reality-supported rehabilitation program integrated with the Biodex Balance System device for interactive balance and postural stability exercises. Another group performs balance and foot exercises using videos with visual guidance to simulate a virtual reality experience. The control group follows a traditional home exercise program without virtual reality involvement. During the 6-week study, participants will have their foot function, maximum plantar pressure, contact area, center of pressure, balance performance, and physical activity levels assessed. These evaluations will help measure changes and improvements due to the different exercise programs. The study involves regular monitoring to track progress and outcomes related to foot health and balance.
