Summary
This study looks at whether using virtual reality for mindfulness meditation can help women aged 14–25 who had ACL knee surgery feel less afraid of re-injury and move better. Participants will use VR meditation or a sham version, and researchers will measure fear levels, jumping patterns, and brain activity. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helpful for recovery.
