knee osteoarthritis
Conditions
Interventions
Participants will be secretly allocated (by means of sealed manila envelopes) into experimental (virtual reality and kinesiotherapy) and control (Conventional Treatment / kinesiotherapy) groups. There
resistance exercises divided into 3 sets of 10 repetitions to strengthen the quadriceps (in seated position) and hamstrings (in the prone position) with the use of anklets for overload
3 sets of 10 repetitions of the exercise from sitting to standing on a chair
balance training using disk, performing 3 sets of 30 seconds. This protocol will last for 30 minutes.
After applying this protocol, the VR group will perform the training using the Video Game. 42" TV
2 – step inside the hula hoops of three different colors alternately according to the color requested by the physiotherapist
3 - game with the ball, throwing it and receiving it with upper and lower limbs. This phase (part 2) of the CT group protocol will have the same duration as the video game: 5 minutes each exercise, wi

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate whether the use of virtual reality with video games, associated with conventional physical therapy treatment, has superior effects on balance and postural control to be evaluated through kinemetry, force platform and accelerometry to obtain results in anticipatory postural adjustments. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate whether the use of virtual reality associated with kinesiotherapy has superior effects on pain and dynamic balance, which will be evaluated by the Visual Analogue Scale and Mini-BESTest scale, respectively. | — |
