Description
Chaitali Vikhe and two co-authors report in 2025 the rehab of an elite badminton player whose kneecap kept slipping out of place. Surgery rebuilt the ligament that holds it, but he then broke the kneecap and needed it wired. He arrived with a wasted thigh muscle, a stiff kneecap, dulled skin feeling, joint sense errors, and fear of movement.
Motion sensors mapped his uneven gait. A phased program mixed thigh reactivation, balance drills, electric muscle stimulation, agility work, sense retraining, and mindfulness. The case shows how motion tracking plus virtual reality tools can guide recovery when many problems stack up in one athlete.
