Multimodal Exercises Adjunct to Virtual Reality in Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain Rehabilitation: A Case Report.

Acromioclavicular joint (AC) sprains are common, usually resulting from a fall on the corner of the shoulder or, less often, an outstretched arm. In this report, we discussed the assessment and physiotherapy protocol along with virtual reality (VR) training of a 21-year-old male state-level kabaddi player who complained of pain in his left shoulder following a history of fall on his left shoulder while playing. This study highlights clinical assessment, diagnostic assessment, therapeutic intervention, and outcomes for patients with a grade II AC sprain. Pain, range of motion (ROM), and muscle strength were clinically assessed. The patient was managed with cryotherapy, movement with mobilization (MWM), rigid taping, ROM exercises, VR training, and muscle strengthening. The results of the study concluded that our conventional physical therapy along with MWM adjunct to VR facilitates the patient's functional recovery.
