Abstract: Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by various impairments in muscle function, making it impossible for the affected person to carry out daily tasks. Virtual reality-based rehabilitation has been used as an alternative therapy for children with CP. The aim of this project was to develop a virtual environment to engage children with/without CP in an interactive therapeutic basketball game for upper limb rehabilitation. The game focuses on improving the patient's strength, range of motion, reaction time, and accuracy of placement. It consists of combining the virtual environment and the interface between the upper limb and the virtual environment. It has four levels, each with a predefined set of tasks and improvement goals. The subject throws the ball into the ring, and with each successful throw, the subject is progressed to the next level. An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor and microcontroller were used to establish the interface between the user and the virtual environment. The first phase of the current project was conducted on four healthy subjects for the four levels to check applicability, interface reliability, flow, and completion time. Completion time and subject feedback were recorded. The Initial results provided benchmark data to test the game on CP subjects while monitoring brain and muscle activities to check neuromuscular progress and improvements. The second phase of the project is to test the virtual reality game on CP subjects and validate the adopted approach
