Usability and expert validation of a virtual reality system for post-mastectomy rehabilitation
The VR system is well tolerated, usable, and has a favorable user experience in healthy subjects, indicating promising clinical transferability for shoulder rehabilitation after breast surgery. Dynamics and predictability (adaptive speed/levels) remain to be optimized, and the software needs to be validated on patients and experienced physiotherapists in dedicated studies.
