Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 20–50 with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., impingement, frozen shoulder) or stroke who are undergoing VR-based upper limb rehabilitation at the Cairo University VR lab.

Probably not a fit

Individuals outside the 20–50 age range or those not using VR for upper limb rehab, or with conditions preventing VR use, may not benefit from this questionnaire.

What this trial studies

This observational effort develops and validates an Arabic questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model to measure patient acceptance of VR for upper limb rehabilitation. It includes content validity testing, pilot testing, face validity, and a larger psychometric evaluation to assess reliability and validity. The study will examine internal consistency, test-retest stability, and construct validity through factor analysis and comparisons with related scales. Participants are adults aged 20–50 receiving VR-based rehab for shoulder issues or stroke, at Cairo University’s physical therapy and VR lab. Safety criteria align with EU regulations for headset use, excluding individuals with implants or epilepsy, and any sensory or consent barriers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the questionnaire could help clinicians understand and tailor VR rehab to patient needs and acceptance.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research in similar technology-acceptance contexts has supported the validity of adapted questionnaires, though this Arabic adaptation for VR upper-limb rehab is novel.
