NCT ID NCT06753383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether playing virtual reality exercise games (like Kinect Sports) for 30 minutes twice a week over 6 weeks helps teens recover after spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. Researchers measured fear of movement, breathing strength, spine flexibility, and quality of life. The goal was to see if VR-based rehab works better than standard physical therapy.
