month of sessions. Also, shoulder proprioception will be assessed by the digital
goniometer.The measurement will be taken for both the edematous side and the non-affected
side.

Study group: the patients will receive eight sessions of Immersive virtual reality based
exercise, 2 sessions per week for 4 weeks besides the traditional physical therapy.
