In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Scapholunate instability is a common form of carpal instability that can cause wrist pain, weakness, and functional limitations during daily activities. Conservative rehabilitation approaches are frequently recommended in the early stages; however, there is no standardized rehabilitation protocol, and the effects of different neuromuscular rehabilitation methods have not been sufficiently investigated. The primary aim of this study is to comparatively examine the effects of conventional physiotherapy approaches and virtual reality-supported neuromuscular rehabilitation on forearm muscle activation patterns assessed using surface electromyography, wrist proprioceptive function (joint position sense), pain intensity, and functional improvement in individuals with scapholunate instability, and to identify clinically applicable rehabilitation protocol approaches for this population.
