The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of integrating game based virtual reality on muscle strength ,balance , range of motion ,functional mobility after foot tendon repair and to compare it with standard rehabilitation methods.
This research is significant for several reasons: 1. Clinical Impact: It seeks to provide evidence-based insights into the effectiveness of VR in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes, potentially reducing recovery times and improving functional independence for patients. 2. Technological Advancement: By integrating cutting-edge technologies into rehabilitation, this study contributes to the evolution of personalized and immersive therapeutic approaches. 3. Patient-Centered Care: The findings may lead to more engaging and accessible rehabilitation options, improving adherence and satisfaction among patients. 4. Healthcare Efficiency: Successful integration of these technologies could reduce the burden on healthcare systems by shortening rehabilitation durations and decreasing the need for extensive manual interventions.

Approach: Early controlled mobilization, gradual loading based on patient tolerance (without excessive pain or swelling). Important: Supervised by an orthopedic surgeon and a physical therapist. Device: Start with a walker boot or splint keeping the ankle plantarflexed. Phases of Rehabilitation:
