Summary

This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of non-immersive virtual reality (VR) therapy and conventional physiotherapy in managing tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Tennis elbow is a painful condition often characterized by chronic pain, reduced grip strength, and limited functionality.

Conditions

  • Tennis Elbow

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

traditional physiotherapy

Participants in this arm will undergo traditional physiotherapy exercises for managing tennis elbow.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Non-immersive VR therapy

Participants undergo a VR-based rehabilitation program targeting tennis elbow symptoms. Sessions last 30 minutes, conducted 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Exercises focus on improving grip strength, wrist flexibility, and functional movement through interactive VR environments that visually engage the affected arm, promoting adherence and motivation without full immersion. The VR setup includes headsets or screens that enable visual interaction, enhancing the rehabilitation experience. The goal is to alleviate pain, increase range of motion, and restore muscle strength.
