Summary

This study tested whether a virtual reality-based robot-assisted exercise program helps people with inflammatory myopathy (a muscle disease causing weakness) more than standard physical therapy. 33 adults trained 5 times a week for 4-6 weeks using either robotic devices or standard exercises. Researchers measured muscle strength, endurance, and psychological distress to see if the high-tech approach leads to better recovery.
