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