Virtual Reality-Based vs Traditional Physiotherapy for Balance, Frailty, and Fall Prevention in Adults Aged 45 Years and Older

This study will compare two exercise-based rehabilitation programs to improve balance and reduce fall risk in adults aged 45 years and older who have had at least one fall in the past year or have balance problems. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: (1) a virtual reality (VR) exercise program using the PABLO system, or (2) a traditional physiotherapy program based on the Otago approach. Both programs will include balance training, strength/power exercises, aerobic activity, and flexibility. The program will last 12 weeks, with two supervised sessions per week (about 30 minutes each). Assessments will be completed at the start of the study and again after 12 weeks. The main outcomes include frailty status, number of falls, mobility (Timed Up and Go test), and balance (Berg Balance Scale). Additional outcomes include grip strength, quality of life (SF-12), and program adherence and safety. The study will help determine whether VR-based rehabilitation improves participation and outcomes compared with traditional physiotherapy.

Conservative Management for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Idiopathic scoliosis is a living problem that resists correction. The underlying cause of the such disorder is unknown but directed more toward muscular disorders. However recent clinical observation showed a possible neuromuscular compromise early in those patients. The main purpose of this study is to develop a treatment procedure to correct the degree of bony curvature in patients with Idiopathic scoliosis through developing a neuromuscular corrective approach that might be a more effective conservative treatment protocol for such disorder.

Evaluating the Impact of a Meta Quest 3 Gamified VR Rehabilitation Program in Knee Osteoarthritis

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a gamified virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation program can effectively reduce pain, improve functionality, and enhance balance in adults aged 40-64 years diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the VR rehabilitation program reduce pain and disability compared to conventional physical therapy alone? Can the VR rehabilitation program improve balance and functionality in patients with knee osteoarthritis? Researchers will compare a group receiving the VR-based rehabilitation program alongside conventional therapy to a group receiving only conventional therapy to see if the addition of VR leads to superior outcomes. Participants will: Undergo either VR-based rehabilitation combined with conventional therapy or conventional therapy alone. Complete assessments at three time points (baseline, 3 weeks, and 7 weeks) using measures such as pain scales, disability indices, and balance tests.

Comparative Effectiveness of Different Drugs Used to tr€at Patients in Rheumatoid Arthritis Saudi Database (RASD)"

Comparative effectiveness of different drugs used to treat patients in Rheumatoid Arthritis Saudi database (RASD) The goal of this observational study is to compare the effectiveness of different biological Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (bDMARDs) and targeted synthetic (tsDMARDs) using Disease Activity Score - 28 joints - C-Reactive Protien (DAS-28-CRP) and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores. In rheumatoid arthritis patients in Saudi Arabia who are part of Rheumatoid Arthritis Saudi Database (RASD). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer: * What is the most effective drug (biologocal or targeted synthetic) disease modifying antirheumatic drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis in Saudi Arabia? * We are going to use two outcome mesures: Disease Activity Score - 28 joints - C-Reactive Protien (DAS-28-CRP) and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores Researchers will compare the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis using specific outcome measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis in Saudi Arabia. * Participants will be enrolled after a signed written concent in our Rheumatoid Arthritis Saudi Databas (RASD). * Their treatment data will used to compare the effectiveness of different drugs they are using.
