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_TEST

Shoulder Physical Examination

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

PROCEDURE

Shoulder 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.

OTHER

Usability 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
