Study Groups

virtual reality training

In intervention the participants took part in the VR training. The X-BOX 360 (Augmented virtual reality) device was used. The participants were guided about the virtual reality training including Kinect sports gamming (Trail 1. badminton, beach volley ball, Soccer goal keeping). Each training was performed for 15 minutes with 5 minutes break time. The whole training was performed for 8 weeks. After eight weeks final assessment was done through outcome measuring tools (TUG test, MAS scale, forward stepping test and Functional reach test).
