Brief Summary

This study will combine virtual reality (VR) technology with machine learning to focus on functional movement. Patients' symptoms will be evaluated, and exercise instruction with real-time feedback will be provided. The goals of this research are to: (1) develop a waist digital sensor for real-time monitoring as an evaluation tool, (2) apply a real-time monitoring system in conjunction with virtual reality for telerehabilitation, and (3) develop the standard model.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Functional assessment: Walking speed

  Functional assessment is a process that allows for the identification of disability. The data from the functional assessment is used to calculate walking speed (unit: m/s).

  6 months

• Functional assessment: Walking distance

  Functional assessment is a process that allows for the identification of disability. The data from the functional assessment is used to calculate walking distance (unit: m).

  6 months

• Functional assessment: Duration

  Functional assessment is a process that allows for the identification of disability. The data from the functional assessment is used to calculate calculate the duration it took to complete the test (unit: s).

  6 months

• Postural balance

  he postural balance measurements are performed by using a inertial sensor. The data from the inertial sensor is used to calculate the 95% confidence ellipse area (unit: cm\^2)

  6 months

• Kinematic variables: Joint angles

  A motion capture system is used to measure the joint kinematics. The data is used to calculate joint angles (unit: degree).

  6 months

• Kinematic variables: Center of mass

  A motion capture system is used to measure the displacement of the center of mass. The data is used to calculate the displacement of the center of mass (unit: cm).

  6 months

• Kinetic variables

  A motion capture system is used to measure the joint kinetics. The data is used to calculate joint moments (unit: Nm)

  6 months

• Muscle activities

  Electromyography is a technique for evaluating and recording muscle activity. The data from electromyography is used to calculate a normalized value (unit: ratio).

  6 months

Study Arms (1)

Core muscle training

EXPERIMENTAL

specific rehabilitation exercise for improving functional movements

Other: Core muscle training

Interventions

Core muscle training OTHER

Combining virtual reality technology and waist wearable sensors, training the pelvis and lumbar spine movements as the main training goal, it is estimated that two 1-hour training sessions per week, a total of 6 weeks of training, to improve the core muscle of patients with lumbar degenerative diseases muscle strength.
