Goal: The clinical investigation involves the evaluation of the usability level of the VR system, sense of presence, and co-presence during the execution of various rehabilitation exercises through specific questionnaires.

Participant Population: The study will enroll 50 patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders will be enrolled

Main Questions:

* How does the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) in rehabilitation programs impact the usability of the system for patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders? * To what extent does the sense of presence experienced by patients using VR systems influence their motivation and adherence to rehabilitation exercises? * How do patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders perceive the co-presence in VR rehabilitation scenarios, and how does it affect their overall treatment experience?

Participant Tasks:

* Shoulder Physical Examination * Instructions to the patient on exercises to be performed using Oculus and selection of customizable settings on the VR app * Execution of the protocol developed for shoulder rehabilitation in a virtual environment * Evaluation of the usability of the VR system, sense of presence, and co-presence through different validated scales
