Funded Activity Summary

Chronic knee pain impacts negatively on health, finances and quality of life. Exercise is the most efficacious intervention yet can be painful or uninteresting. Current rehabilitation methods fail to address the dysfunctional way the brain controls muscles in people with pain that may contribute to ongoing disability. This study uses novel, innovative techniques in the form of virtual reality combined with exercise to reduce pain, boredom, and critically, target dysfunctional movement control.
