The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare how the incorporation of Virtual Reality could influence in proprioception, kinesiophobia, functionality and catastrophism in people that are undergoing a rehabilitation treatment after a wrist fracture. The principal questions it aims to answer are:
* Evaluate the effect of using virtual reality added to standard rehabilitation of wrist injuries in proprioception impairment. * Evaluate the effect of using virtual reality on psychological factors as kinesiophobia and catastrofism. * Evaluate the effect of using virtual reality in functionality on wrist-injured patients.
Intervention will be:
* Control group: participants of this group will receive conventional rehabilitation of the wrist, plus a specific proprioceptive exercise program. * Experimental group: participants of this group will receive the same treatment as the control group but adding virtual reality games at the end of the session.
Researchers will compare control and experimental group to see if an implantation of Virtual Reality could had benefits on function, kinesiophobia, catastrofism and proprioception.

Proprioception
Assessment of proprioception impairment using Joint Position Sense Test (JPST). Punctuation will be the difference between the asked position and the patient's replication. The test will be repeated with open and closed eyes.
Kinesiophobia
Fear of movement, assessed with Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) which has 17 items with Likert's answers. Punctuation goes from 17 to 68 points, where \<37 points means a low level of kinesiophobia and \>37 a high level.
Catastrophism
Catastrophizing pain assessed with Pain Catasthrophizing Scale (PCS) which has 13 items with Likert's answers. Punctuation goes from 0 to 52 points, where 0-20 points means a low catastrophism, 21-30 points moderate catastrophism and \>30 points a high catastrophism.
Function
Functionality of the upper limb assessed with QuickDASH which has 11 items. Punctuation goes from 0 to 100, where 0 means no disability and 100 maximum disability.
Hand and Wrist function
Assessed with Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) which has 15 items punctuated from 0 to 10. Punctuation goes from 0-100 where 0 means no disability and 100 maximum disability.
