Virtual reality tests for balance and strength in women with fibromyalgia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether virtual reality versions of two tests (sit-to-stand and timed up-and-go) are reliable and meaningful for women with fibromyalgia. It aims to see if these VR tests can measure your physical function as well as the traditional versions, which might make assessment more engaging and accessible.
