Occulus-Guided Rehabilitation Approach in a Patient With Osteoarthritis Knee: A Case Report

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent musculoskeletal condition affecting the elderly's quality of life. Wear and tear, as well as the progressive deterioration of articular cartilage, are the causes of OA, also known as degenerative joint disease. There are two types of OA: primary and secondary. The condition can be treated both conservatively and surgically. Medication and physical therapy might be used to treat it conservatively. Physical rehabilitation can include advanced management through the use of virtual reality (VR). The other option for treatment is surgical management. We are presenting a case of a 52-year-old female who presented to musculoskeletal physiotherapy out patient department with complaints of left-sided knee pain, stiffness, and difficulty in sitting with crossed legs on the floor. On examination, crepitations were present. Knee range of motion and strength were significantly reduced. Physiotherapy treatment was planned for the same. In physiotherapy rehabilitation, Occulus-guided physiotherapy exercises were given to improve the strength and range of motion of the joint.
