Author(s) Gargi Joshi, Rima Musale

Abstract Abstract
Background: The rationale for the use of Virtual Reality an Augmented Reality in rehabilitation is based on a number of unique attributes of this technology like opportunity for experiential, active learning that encourages and motivates the participant, ability of therapists to objectively measure behavior in challenging but safe and ecologically valid environments, while maintaining strict experimental control over delivery of the stimulus. A promising future requires the continued development and use of new, innovative technologies like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality that will transform existing practices. To ensure the long- term use of such systems, it is imperative to understand the perspectives of healthcare providers in the implementation of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality technologies.
Method: An observational cross- sectional study was done. A total of 102 physiotherapists from various fields and of different age groups and experience were included. A self- made questionnaire of 3 sections was administered to the physiotherapists using google forms.
Results: it was found that 82.4% physiotherapists knew that virtual reality and augmented reality have applications in healthcare whereas only 46.1% knew about its applications in complex musculoskeletal disorders. 90.2% think that virtual reality and augmented reality should be widely applied in clinical practice.
Conclusion: In conclusion, many of the participants were not aware about extent of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality rehabilitation in different fields across physical therapy. Most of the participants knew about its application in the neuro physiotherapy field. More awareness needs to be spread on the widespread implementations of these technologies in the field of rehabilitation. Most of the participants have a positive attitude towards application of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality clinically.
