Knee osteoarthritis, movement, fall risk, and virtual reality study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality can help people over 60 with knee osteoarthritis improve their movement and reduce their risk of falling. It may offer a new way to manage symptoms and stay active safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 60 years or older.
- You live at home (not in a nursing home or assisted living facility).

This study compares virtual reality exercises with standard leg-strengthening moves to see which better reduces pain and improves function in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
This trial tests a live, interactive strength training program for people recently diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if this home-based program can help reduce pain and improve daily function.
This trial tests whether a fun virtual reality game (like a video game you do standing up) can improve balance and walking better than a set of simple exercises. It is for older adults who can still walk on their own but want to stay steady on their feet.
This pilot study tests whether a group exercise program can improve balance for people with knee osteoarthritis. You would join supervised exercise classes to see if they help with stability and daily movement.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality plus occupational therapy can help older adults reduce their risk of falling and becoming frail. You'll use a VR headset during rehab sessions at the residence.
This study tests if using a fun virtual reality program with the Meta Quest 3 headset can help people with knee osteoarthritis improve their movement and reduce pain. If you have moderate knee OA, this may be a new way to do your exercises.
