Meta Quest 3 is an Mixed Reality headset providing augmented reality and virtual reality capabilities, allowing users to engage in both physical and virtual environments. Participants will play the "Totally Basketball" game, which promotes upper body engagement and postural correction through movements focusing on cervical retraction, scapular stabilization, and thoracic extension. The virtual reality sessions will last 20 minutes, scheduled after 30 to 45 minutes of conventional exercises, three times a week for eight weeks. Each session includes an introduction to the headset, a safety briefing, supervised trials, and active gameplay aimed at addressing thoracic hyperkyphosis with physiotherapist oversight to ensure safety and proper technique.
