Virtual reality mindfulness after ACL knee surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a virtual-reality mindfulness meditation program to help improve fear and movement quality after ACL reconstruction. It may help you feel less afraid of movement and land more safely when you return to sports.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
