Online game-based physiotherapy for boys with DMD
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a fun, game-like online physiotherapy program can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (ages 6 to 12) improve their strength and movement. It may be a good fit if your son can walk, does regular physiotherapy, and has internet access at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your son must be between 6 and 12 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
- He should be able to walk on his own for at least 6 minutes. The study uses a special rating system to check his leg function.
- He needs to have had at least 8 physiotherapy or rehab sessions in the last month.
- You must have internet at home (the study uses an online program with games).
- You (the parent or guardian) need to be willing to let him take part and sign a consent form.
