Design and evaluation of tennis sports injury rehabilitation training system based on virtual reality technology

This paper presents the concept and review of a virtual reality-based rehabilitation system that could be designed for tennis-related injuries and includes motion capture, real-time feedback mechanisms, and adaptive training protocols for an immersive rehabilitation environment. In a randomized controlled trial with 60 tennis players, significant improvements in rehabilitation were observed, with higher percentages in the VR group versus controls for dynamic balance, 90% versus 80%, p < 0.01, and functional recovery, 92% versus 84%, p < 0.001. System evaluation showed good user satisfaction, rated 4.4 of 5.0, and technical reliability, assessed as uptime, 99.7%, together with a 32% session time reduction. These results confirm that VR technology is useful in sports rehabilitation and is a promising solution to improve the recovery outcome in tennis injury rehabilitation.
