Detailed description: The purpose of this research; exercise performed with virtual reality glasses for individuals with lumbar disc herniation; The aim of this study is to examine the effects on pain, activities of daily living, quality of life and falling.

This research was carried out experimentally with pretest-posttest control group.

The research was carried out between December 2019 and August 2022. The research was carried out in the Physical Therapy Unit of Erzurum Atatürk University Health Practice and Research Center.

The universe of the research; It consisted of 68 patients with LDH who came to Atatürk University Health Application and Research Center Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit between 13 September 2022 and 7 January 2022.

n data collection, "Patient Identification Form" (Appendix-5), "Visual Analog Scale" (Appendix-6), "Oswestry Disability Index" (Appendix-7), "SF-36 Quality of Life Scale" (Appendix-8) and Falling Risk Score result is used.The patients in the experimental and control groups were first given training on protection of back health and exercise.

The patients in the experimental group did waist exercises with virtual reality glasses for 2 sessions, 28 sessions in total, every weekday.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being literate.
* Not having a physical disability that prevents them from doing the exercises.
* Not have an uncontrolled chronic or acute illness.
* Not having a vision problem that cannot be controlled by assistive methods.
* Not having a vertigo problem
* To be cognitively competent.
* Not having any musculoskeletal surgery in the last 6 months
* Not having knee joint disease
* To be able to complete the measurement with the balance device
* Having a body mass index below 40

Exclusion Criteria:

* To have a medium and high fall risk score in the measurement made with the balance device
* Experiencing chronic pain.
