Abstract
Introduction: The implementation of Virtual Reality technology is approaching a breakthrough within the medical, and rehabilitation fields. The level of immersion in the virtual environment is profound and the potential applications are vast.
Methods: This article reviews the capabilities of Virtual Reality in conjunction with the rehabilitation of nerve entrapments in sport athletes and examines the interactions between our body and brain within the virtual realm. In clinical practice it could be used as a complement to face-to-face therapy to asynchronous use by the patient in any location as a telerehabilitation system.
Conclusion: The use of Virtual Reality is a novel, potential, and promising tool in the treatment of nerve entrapments, even possible in the form of telerehabilitation. The response of body and brain in a virtual setting is good, the evolutions in technology can only improve this and this need to be substantiated by further scientific research.
期刊介绍：
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
