Effects of Virtual Reality-Based Aerobic Exercise on Perceptions of Pain and Fatigue in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury.

Virtual reality (VR) has become an effective alternative to promote exercise. However, limited studies have investigated the effect of VR on pain and fatigue in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using VR during exercise on pain and fatigue in individuals with SCI.

Aquatic treadmill walking at three depths of water in people with traumatic brain injury.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse kinematic and spatiotemporal gait characteristics of aquatic treadmill walking among three different depths of water in individuals with traumatic brain injury.

Methods: A total of 13 individuals with traumatic brain injury participated in the study and completed walking trials at three different depths as follows: waist, chest, and neck level, which was adjusted by a movable floor pool. A self-selected comfortable walking speed at the waist level was used as a matched speed for all walking trials.
