Virtual reality programs to improve foot function, foot pressure, and balance in sedentary young adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will enroll sedentary university students ages 18–25 and assign them to one of three groups: a VR program using a Biodex system, a video-based VR exercise program, or a non-intervention control group. Interventions will consist of supervised VR exercise sessions delivered at the university health center over a defined training period. Outcomes measured before and after the intervention will include clinical foot function measures, foot pressure mapping, and standardized balance tests. The trial will compare changes between groups to see which VR approach, if any, leads to measurable improvements.
