Virtual reality rehab for wrist instability
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding virtual reality exercises to standard physical therapy helps people with a specific wrist ligament injury. It compares usual rehab with a program that uses fun, virtual-reality games to improve strength and control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two hand therapy methods to help improve wrist position sense after a broken wrist is fixed with metal plates and screws. It may help participants regain better control and function after surgery.
This trial tests whether virtual reality therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks to 6 months. You must be able to do some arm movement and have no major health issues that prevent participation.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (immersive computer simulations) during rehabilitation can help you recover better after a traumatic hand or wrist injury. The goal is to see if this approach improves how well your hand works and feels after healing.
This study tests whether virtual reality rehabilitation helps people recover after shoulder surgery. It focuses on three shoulder conditions: instability, rotator cuff repair, and frozen shoulder.
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help people with wrist and hand injuries move and feel better. You'll play simple games in a headset as part of your hand therapy.
This study looks at people aged 18–60 who have ongoing, painful wrist instability from a fully torn scapholunate ligament. It may help improve surgical approaches by carefully selecting patients whose ligament tear is complete and causing measurable joint looseness.
