The apparatus of the study was Xbox device. Sharpend Rumberg Test was used to assess the static balance scores. Experimental group performed their practice in the virtual environment during 4 weeks, 3 days per week, and 1 hour per day. Control group continued their common occupational therapy programs. MANCOVA and ANCOVA Tests were used at p UR - https://jsmdl.ut.ac.ir/article_80074.html L1 - https://jsmdl.ut.ac.ir/article_80074_d6230829f5a796153d20aa13b241af6f.pdf ER -
