Overview

Low back pain is one of the most prevalent pain conditions worldwide. Virtual reality-based training has been explored as a new treatment strategy for low back pain. Present evidence indicates that the effectiveness of virtual reality-based training for people with chronic low back pain is inconclusive. All patients will be recruited from the faculty of physical therapy at the October 6 University All the assessment measurements will be done at the Faculty of Physical Therapy, October 6 University

Interventions

VR (VR-Control)DEVICE

uses immersive, computer-generated environments and virtual reality headsets to simulate real-world situations, allowing trainees to practice skills in a safe, interactive, and risk-free setting. This technology offers advantages like cost savings, reduced risk in hazardous situations, better learning retention through hands-on experience, and the ability to repeat scenarios for proficiency.

Balance trainingOTHER

Balance exercises that can help with low back pain include single-leg standing, heel-to-toe walking, calf raises, bird-dogs, and bridges, which strengthen the core muscles and improve overall stability. Start by holding onto a sturdy object for support and gradually increase the difficulty by moving to less stable surfaces or closing your eyes.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Biodex balance system

The Biodex Balance System (BBS) has been used to evaluate postural balance. The BBS is a multiaxial device that objectively measures and records an individual's ability to stabilise the involved joint under dynamic stress. It uses a circular platform that is free to move in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral axes simultaneously

Time frame: one week

Forward reach test

The forward reach test is a clinical assessment that measures a person's ability to reach forward while standing in a fixed position to gauge their stability and fall risk. To perform the test, a patient stands next to a wall with their arm raised and fist closed, and they reach as far as possible along a yardstick or meter stick without moving their feet or losing their balance.

Time frame: one week
