Resultados funcionales al añadir la Microsoft Kinect® en la rehabilitación fisioterapéutica de sujetos con artroplastia total de rodilla

Abstract

BackgroundThe objective was to describe the changes in functionality after the use of virtual reality in post Total Knee Arthroplasty (ATR) participants. Materials and methods25 post-operated ATR participants were recruited. The virtual reality training lasted 6 weeks. The outcome measures were the WOMAC questionnaire; the Berg Balance scale; pain with visual analogue scale (VAS); distance covered with the 6-minute Walk Test and the difference in weight load on the lower extremities. ResultsAt the end of the treatment, all the variables studied showed statistically significant reductions (p < 0.05). ConclusionsPhysiotherapeutic training that adds virtual reality, in the short term, improves functionality in post-operated ATR participants.
