Cervical radiculopathy (CR) is a debilitating illness characterized by pain, motor dysfunction, and postural problems, notably forward head position (FHP). Conventional rehabilitation methods frequently encounter difficulties in delivering engaging and efficacious therapies. Virtual reality (VR) training has developed as a novel rehabilitation instrument that incorporates real-time feedback and
immersive experiences to promote pain alleviation, posture adjustment, and functional recovery.
