High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

This randomized placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) as an adjunct to standard outpatient physiotherapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Seventy-two participants will be randomly assigned to receive either conventional physiotherapy combined with active HILT or conventional physiotherapy combined with sham HILT. Outcomes related to pain, knee function, physical performance, muscle strength, range of motion, psychosocial factors, quality of life and body composition will be assessed at baseline, after the intervention, and at 8-week follow-up.

Effectiveness of VR Rehabilitation for People With Asymmetrical Gait Patterns

A randomized comparative study will be conducted to evaluate the rehabilitation process using a VR-based application versus conventional therapy in 40 patients (sample size determined using a sample size calculator). After meeting the eligibility criteria, participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group (20 patients with gait pattern asymmetry), performing a gait training program using a VR rehabilitation application, and the control group (20 patients with gait pattern asymmetry), performing only a conventional gait training program. Participants in both groups will take part in a 2-week rehabilitation program (Monday to Friday), with daily training sessions lasting up to 2 hours. Patient assessment will be conducted twice: an initial evaluation before the start of the intervention (Assessment I) and a follow-up evaluation after completion of the 2-week program (Assessment II), at the same time of day, under the same conditions, and using the same measurement tools.

fNIRS Neurofeedback for Post-stroke Hand Rehabilitation

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of disability. Among post-stroke individuals, 80% experience upper limb dysfunction, while only 5% to 20% of individuals regain full limb and hand function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of hand rehabilitation of post-stroke individuals using HEG Neurofeedback The study will include 30 participants in the early sub-acute phase post-stroke, who will be assigned to either the study group or the control group. Participants in the experimental group will follow a rehabilitation program extended with HEG Neurofeedback training, while participants in the control group will follow the standard rehabilitation program. The HEG Neurofeedback therapy equipment will be supplemented with new hand therapy software. During the exercises, patients will focus on a discussed and presented task, and once the expected level of concentration is reached, the software will trigger a virtual hand performing a finger flexion movement. Motor control of the hand will be assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Scale and Brunnström recovery stages.

Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Versus Conventional Therapy in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation using virtual reality compared with conventional physiotherapy in patients with chronic low back pain. The study will be conducted as a prospective, randomized controlled trial including 80 patients aged 40-65 years diagnosed with chronic low back pain lasting at least three months. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group receiving conventional rehabilitation supplemented with non-immersive virtual reality training using the Tecnobody Homing Studio system, and a control group receiving conventional rehabilitation alone. Both groups will participate in a four-week rehabilitation program. The virtual reality training will replace a portion of conventional exercises and will focus on improving movement quality, postural control, coordination, and functional mobility through interactive tasks with visual and auditory biofeedback. The system utilizes a 3D camera enabling markerless motion analysis and real-time visual feedback to support movement correction and identification of functional deficits. Outcome measures will include assessments of balance, posture, joint mobility, lower limb strength and endurance, pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, kinesiophobia, perceived stress, anxiety and depression, functional disability, quality of life, and motivation for physical activity. Measurements will be conducted at baseline, immediately after completion of the four-week rehabilitation program, and at an eight-week follow-up. The results of this study are expected to provide clinical evidence regarding the effectiveness of virtual reality-assisted rehabilitation in patients with chronic low back pain and may contribute to the development of evidence-based rehabilitation strategies incorporating digital technologies.

Evaluation of Stabilization Training With Biofeedback in Lumbosacral Spine Pain Syndrome

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of biofeedback-assisted stabilization training and conventional therapy on pain perception, balance, spinal mobility, functional performance, physical activity, stress level, and quality of life in patients with lumbosacral spine pain syndrome treated conservatively. The main research questions the study seeks to answer are as follows: Whether and to what extent the implemented therapeutic program improves balance, spinal mobility, functional performance, physical activity, quality of life, and reduces pain perception and stress levels in patients with lumbosacral spine pain syndrome? Are there differences in therapeutic outcomes depending on the treatment method applied? Are the therapeutic effects maintained three months after completion of the intervention? Researchers will compare two groups: a control group and an experimental group. In the control group, stabilization training will be performed without the use of biofeedback. Participants will undergo clinical and functional assessments (Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, force platform measurements, etc.). Depending on the group to which participants are randomly assigned, participants will participate in manual therapy, stabilization training, and selected physical therapy modalities. Participants will be continuously supervised by a physician and physiotherapists throughout the 8-week intervention period. Three months after completion of the intervention, participants will undergo a follow-up assessment.
