Virtual Reality group

Virtual reality group will perform online reality-based device following a therapeutic protocol supervised by a physiotherapist in which the level of demand will be adjusted to the patient's evolution. This programme provides a gamified and challenging online environment to enhance motor learning and induce sensorimotor adaptations. Additionally, they will receive conventional physiotherapy approach, oriented to the specific objectives of each patient, aiming to normalize tone, activate weakened muscles, facilitate movement, recover sensitivity, and compensate for functional deficits. Additionally, global kinesitherapy, motor coordination exercises, pedalier, vibration therapy (vibrosphere®), and analgesic electrotherapy will be performed if necessary.

OTHER

Placebo virtual reality group

The control group will undergo a conventional physiotherapy program based on the normalization of tone, activation of weakened muscles and facilitation of normal movement, recovery of alterations in sensitivity, and compensation of lost functional deficits. In addition, global kinesitherapy exercises will be performed on a stretcher, motor coordination exercises, pedalier, vibration therapy (vibrosphere ®) and analgesic electrotherapy if necessary. Finally, in order to minimize the differences between the control and intervention groups, the participants of the control group will watch a 15-minute generic 2D video freely accessible on the Youtube platform from the VR glasses, without specific software.
