Abstract
Objective. To analyze the users’ movement during performing the tasks of Fully Immersive Virtual Reality Therapeutic module.
Methods. An observational study was conducted at the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Egypt. Healthy college-aged volunteers participated invited to participate in the study from 1st January 2023 to 25th April 2023. All participants were invited to use the fully immersive VRaputic® software module (Vibilo™). Movement analysis was performed via Kinovea 0.9.5×64 version video analyzing software on different views of photographs of each participant.
Results. The arc of motion performed during the module was in the following joints and directions in the upper limb: shoulder joint (flexion (133.58 ± 5.10)), elbow joint (flexion (99.42 ± 5.66), and extension (2.35 ± 1.41)).
Conclusions. It was concluded that the selected fully immersive VRaputic® software (Vibilo™), a therapeutic module, could be prescribed for the management of kinesiophobia, shoulder dysfunction, elbow stiffness, low back pain, hip and knee joint dysfunction, and neurological cases (post-stroke, cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy) based on different joints’ arc of motion performed during the module.

Abstract
Background and Purpose. Despite the well-known benefits of whole body vibration and pulsed magnetic field on bone density in spastic diplegic children, none of the former studies had evaluated the difference between both techniques on bone density in spastic diplegic children. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between whole body vibration and pulsed magnetic field during the application of a selected exercises program on bone density in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods. Thirty spastic diplegic children participated in this study. They were classified randomly into two groups of equal numbers, group A and group B. DEXA was used to evaluate bone density and muscle lean in the two groups before and after three successive months of application of the treatment programs. Group A received whole body vibration and selected exercises program. Group B received the same exercises program given to group A plus pulsed magnetic field. Results. Comparing The pre-treatment results revealed non significant difference in all the measuring variables between the two groups. In comparing the pre and post-treatment results for both groups revealed significant improvement in all measured variables. Post treatment results between two groups show no difference. Conclusion. It can be concluded that, whole body vibration and pulsed magnetic field can be considered as an effective modality in improving bone mineral density and can be used safely in the treatment program of spastic diplegic cerebral palsied children.
