Comparative Effects of Non-Immersive Virtual Reality Environment and Conventional Treatment in Patients with Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow, also called lateral epicondylitis, is a common musculoskeletal problem that causes soreness and pain in the lateral region of the elbow. As the name suggests, it mainly affects people who perform repeated arm and wrist motions, such as tennis players. This research aims to determine the effect of non-immersive virtual reality and conventional treatment in tennis elbow patients. Non-immersive virtual reality-based therapy performed significantly better than standard treatment in reducing pain and increasing function in patients with tennis elbow. Improved compliance and attendance in the virtual reality group explained improved outcomes. Younger subjects benefited most from virtual reality interventions.
