EN Abstract:
  Total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) is a core treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis. However, traditional postoperative rehabilitation is limited by monotonous training modes, low patient compliance, and delayed dynamic assessment, which constrain functional recovery. Virtual reality (VR) technology, characterized by immersive interaction and precise biomechanical feedback, has emerged as a promising innovation in rehabilitation under the support of digital healthcare policies. This study reviews the application effects of VR technology in postoperative rehabilitation after hip and knee arthroplasty, providing evidence for optimizing digital rehabilitation programs. Relevant studies published in the past five years were retrieved from databases such as PubMed and CNKI using keywords such as “virtual reality”, “joint arthroplasty” and “rehabilitation training”. A total of 44 clinical studies were selected for analysis. VR technology demonstrated positive effects in psychological support, joint function recovery, and home/remote rehabilitation for patients after hip and knee arthroplasty. However, its role in pain improvement requires further investigation. VR technology holds broad application prospects in postoperative rehabilitation after hip and knee arthroplasty. Future efforts should focus on integrating VR with artificial intelligence, conducting multi-center clinical validation, and advancing digital rehabilitation toward intelligent and remote directions.
