Cover Story: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a common surgical procedure among active individuals, yet postoperative rehabilitation remains challenging. Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy has emerged as a promising tool to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of VRET in post-ACL reconstruction rehabilitation by analyzing studies comparing VRET with conventional therapies. The findings suggest that VRET significantly improves functional recovery and pain reduction, underscoring its potential as an innovative adjunct in postoperative rehabilitation programs. View this paper
