Virtual Reality for Shoulder Rehabilitation
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico
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
Shoulder Physical Examination
shoulder physical examination is conducted to assess the patient's musculoskeletal condition and to track progress throughout the rehabilitation phases
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.
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
