About this study

The purpose of this research; exercise performed with virtual reality glasses for individuals with lumbar disc herniation; The aim of this study is to examine the effects on pain, activities of daily living, quality of life and falling.

This research was carried out experimentally with pretest-posttest control group.

The research was carried out between December 2019 and August 2022. The research was carried out in the Physical Therapy Unit of Erzurum Atatürk University Health Practice and Research Center.

The universe of the research; It consisted of 68 patients with LDH who came to Atatürk University Health Application and Research Center Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit between 13 September 2022 and 7 January 2022.

n data collection, "Patient Identification Form" (Appendix-5), "Visual Analog Scale" (Appendix-6), "Oswestry Disability Index" (Appendix-7), "SF-36 Quality of Life Scale" (Appendix-8) and Falling Risk Score result is used.The patients in the experimental and control groups were first given training on protection of back health and exercise.

The patients in the experimental group did waist exercises with virtual reality glasses for 2 sessions, 28 sessions in total, every weekday.

Exercising with the training material taught at the beginning of the training

Other names: Exercising without virtual reality glasses

Primary outcomes

  1. Filling in the Visual Analog scale form before the intervention fort the LDH patients icluded in the study

    Time frame: Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)

    The minimum score to be taken is 0 and the maximum score is 10. İt is known that as the score obtained increases,the pain felt by the patient increases

  2. Filling in the SF-36 Ouality of life scale form before the intervention fort the LDH patients icluded in the study

    Time frame: Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)

    The minimum score obtained from the SF-36 quality of life scale is 0 and the maximum score is 100. The higher the score, the higher the patient's quality of life

  3. Filling in the Oswestry Disability Index form before the intervention fort the LDH patients icluded in the study

    Time frame: Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)

    The minimum score obtained from the Oswestry Disability Index is 0 and the maximum score is 50. The lower the score, the greater the independence of the patient in his daily activities

  4. Calculation of the fall risk index based on % points before the intervention fort he LDH patients included in the study

    Time frame: Before starting the first treatment in the physical therapy unit (first day)

    The lowest score to be taken from the risk index is 0 and the highest score is 100. The lower the Score received, the lower the risk

Secondary outcomes

  1. Filling the Visual Analog scale form for LDH patients who have completed their 3-week intervention

    Time frame: After 3 weeks of intervention

    The minimum score to be taken is 0 and the maximum score is 10. İt is known that as the score obtained increases,the pain felt by the patient increases

  2. Filling the Oswestry Disability Index form for LDH patients who have completed their 3-week intervention

    Time frame: After 3 weeks of intervention

    The minimum score obtained from the Oswestry Disability Index is 0 and the maximum score is 50. The lower the score, the greater the independence of the patient in his daily activities

  3. Filling the SF-36 Ouality of life scale form for LDH patients who have completed their 3-week intervention

    Time frame: After 3 weeks of intervention

    The minimum score obtained from the SF-36 quality of life scale is 0 and the maximum score is 100. The higher the score, the higher the patient's quality of life

  4. Calculation of the fall risk index of LDH patients over % points after 3 weeks of intervention

    Time frame: After 3 weeks of intervention

    The lowest score to be taken from the risk index is 0 and the highest score is 100. The lower the Score received, the lower the risk
