Objective The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to clarify the rehabilitation efficacy virtual reality (VR) balance training after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods This was registered in PROSPERO with registration number CRD42024520383. electronic databases PubMed, Web Science, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature, Science Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Digital Periodical database were systematically searched identify eligible studies from their inception up January 2024. investigated outcomes included International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, visual analogue scale (VAS), Holden grading, Extensor peak torque (EPT), Flexor (FPT), knee reaction time, reproduction angle difference. pooled mean difference (MD) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated using random-effects model. Results Six RCTs a total 464 patients unilateral ACLR for 8–12 weeks VR intervention. Analysis results showed that compared conventional control group, group significantly improved score (MD = 3.88, 95%CI: 0.95~6.81), grading 0.42, 0.33~0.51), (EPT) 12.03, 3.28~20.78)and (FPT) 14.57, 9.52~19.63) postoperative patients, reduced time -0.30, -0.35~-0.25), at 30° -0.88, -1.16~-0.61), 60° -0.80, -1.09~-0.50), VAS -0.52, -0.65~-0.39). Conclusion Since many are based on low—or very—low—quality evidence, although show certain trend, conclusion has great uncertainty. In following lower—limb training, application might be advantageous recovery patients’ joint function, muscle strength, proprioception, pain management. level immersion may influence outcome. Because limitations data quality heterogeneity as well small sample size, strength conclusions weakened. These findings should verified further large-scale prospective studies.

Purpose Promoting people’s interest in sports is not only important to enterprises improve financial performance but also the healthy development of whole society. As virtual reality (VR) devices become more accessible and consumers’ demand for immersive experiences increases, VR advertising gradually attracting attention advertisers. However, there limited research on what situations are suitable compared traditional forms promoting sport interest. This study aims compare influence experiential informational video Design/methodology/approach programs advertised novices experienced people, this investigates interaction effect type (experiential vs video) previous experience (high low) We recruited 216 participants. They were randomly assigned one two conditions: an advertisement table tennis played by using a headset watched PC. Findings The results show that generates higher than those with low vividness presence play sequential mediating role. For high experience, was no significant difference between forms. Originality/value findings extend different types complement new moderator providing perspective insight into differences advertising.
