Intervention

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.
• 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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	ActiGraph data points	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	During physical therapy session
Secondary	Total movement with wearable movement sensor	Compare the total movement of pediatric patients when undergo virtual reality assisted physical therapy and traditional physical therapy measured by ActiGraph watch	During physical therapy session
Secondary	Patient Fatigue	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).	immediately after the physical therapy session
Secondary	Difference in FACIT-F questionnaire result	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).	immediately after the physical therapy session
Secondary	Change in current mental well being as measured by the modified WHO (Five) Well-Being Index	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	immediately after the physical therapy session
Secondary	Difference in Fatigue - Short Form 10a questionnaire result	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).	immediately after the physical therapy session
