Sponsor

Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Sep 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Goal: The clinical investigation involves the evaluation of the usability level of the VR system, sense of presence, and co-presence during the execution of various rehabilitation exercises through specific questionnaires. Participant Population: The study will enroll 50 patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders will be enrolled Main Questions: * How does the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) in rehabilitation programs impact the usability of the system for patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders? * To what extent does the sense of presence experienced by patients using VR systems influence their motivation and adherence to rehabilitation exercises? * How do patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders perceive the co-presence in VR rehabilitation scenarios, and how does it affect their overall treatment experience? Participant Tasks: * Shoulder Physical Examination * Instructions to the patient on exercises to be performed using Oculus and selection of customizable settings on the VR app * Execution of the protocol developed for shoulder rehabilitation in a virtual environment * Evaluation of the usability of the VR system, sense of presence, and co-presence through different validated scales

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTShoulder Physical Examination

shoulder physical examination is conducted to assess the patient's musculoskeletal condition and to track progress throughout the rehabilitation phases

PROCEDUREShoulder Rehabilitation in a Virtual Environment

The rehabilitation protocol for shoulder disorders is executed using a Virtual Reality (VR) system, where patients perform customized exercises tailored to their physical characteristics.

OTHERUsability assessment and presence and co-presence evaluation

The usability of the VR system, along with the sense of presence and co-presence during rehabilitation, is assessed using validated scales
