Effectiveness of Virtual Reality-based Real-time Ergonomics Training on Dental Posture Improvement
This study highlights the potential of VR-RET as an effective educational tool to prevent musculoskeletal disorders among dental students by improving clinical posture. By providing immediate, objective feedback during simulated procedures, VR-RET fosters ergonomic awareness and self-correction habits that can be transferred to real clinical environments, ultimately supporting long-term practitioner health and performance.
