Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Experimental: VRPT then Traditional PT Participants will receive Virtual Reality assisted Physical Therapy sessions (VRPT) in the first Physical Therapy (PT) session and will receive traditional Physical Therapy sessions (standard care) in the second Physical Therapy session under the supervision of the accredited physical therapist.	Behavioral: Virtual Reality Physical Therapy Participants are allowed to freely choose one game from the game list. Participant will be asked to wear a validated activity tracker - ActiGraph. Baseline heart rate will be collected for 1 minute. Participants will be wearing the ActiGraph during Physical Therapy session. Participants receiving VR intervention will be instructed to wear an Oculus Quest 2 headset (Meta, Inc., Menlo Park, CA) and participate in VR applications under the supervision of the physical therapist. Other Names: VRPT Behavioral: Traditional Physical Therapy Participants will receive traditional Physical Therapy sessions (standard care) under the supervision of the accredited physical therapist. Participants will be wearing the Actigraph during Physical Therapy session. Participants will perform regular physical exercise, such as 20 minutes walking or biking on a stationary bike, under the supervision of a physical therapist.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

ActiGraph data points [During physical therapy session]
Compare the total Metabolic Equivalent of Task (METs) rate of pediatric patients when undergo virtual reality assisted physical therapy and traditional physical therapy measured by ActiGraph watch

Secondary Outcome Measures

Total movement with wearable movement sensor [During physical therapy session]
Compare the total movement of pediatric patients when undergo virtual reality assisted physical therapy and traditional physical therapy measured by ActiGraph watch
Patient Fatigue [immediately after the physical therapy session]
Patients will self-report fatigue according to the Adult OMNI-Walk/Run RPE Scale (OMNI RPE) scale after both the VR and standard of care portion. The OMNI RPE is an 11-categories perceived exertion rating scale with a numerical rating from 0 to 10 (0= Not Tired at All, 10= Very, Very Tired).
Difference in FACIT-F questionnaire result [immediately after the physical therapy session]
Measured by comparison Pediatric Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F) of patient in first physical therapy session and second physical therapy session . Pediatric Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F) is a 13 items -questionnaire which measures the fatigue scale of the patient with minimum score at 0 (low fatigue score) and maximum score at 52 (high fatigue score).
Change in current mental well being as measured by the modified WHO (Five) Well-Being Index [immediately after the physical therapy session]
The modified WHO (Five) Well-Being Index is a participant-reported outcome measure that assesses current mental well being. Questionnaire contains 5 questions . Scores range from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating the corresponding feeling exists all the time
Difference in Fatigue - Short Form 10a questionnaire result [immediately after the physical therapy session]
Measured by comparison PROMIS Pediatric Item Bank GenPop v3.0 - Fatigue - Short Form 10a of patient in first physical therapy session and second physical therapy session . PROMIS Pediatric Item Bank GenPop v3.0 - Fatigue - Short Form 10a is a 10 items -questionnaire which measures the fatigue scale of the patient with scores range from 1 to 5,(1 = never and 5 = Almost always).
