Full description

in this study, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effect of adding exercises using virtual reality on achievements in patients having breast cancer and conducted surgical treatment.

A virtual reality (VR) environment is created by combining computer systems and sensor technology with the use of three-dimensional graphics and enabling users to experience a more real, immersive experience by utilizing their various senses (vision, hearing, touch, etc.) through the use of the computer and sensor technologies and it is characterized by immersion, imagination, and interaction 2 groups will be selected randomly to receive experimental and control intervention for 1 month and outcomes will be collected before and after treatment.
