Gamified physiotherapy for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a fun, game-based physiotherapy program done at home can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a condition causing muscle weakness) improve their movement and strength. It may be an engaging way to support regular exercise and rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Boys aged 6 to 12 years with a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
- Able to walk independently for at least 6 minutes.
- Mild to moderate muscle weakness (stages 1 or 2 on a scale of physical function).
- No other neurological disorders, recent injuries, or surgeries in the last 6 months.
- Access to internet at home and willingness to participate in physiotherapy sessions.
- Parents or guardians must consent and understand Turkish.

This study tests whether a special program that combines thinking tasks (like counting or remembering) with physical activities can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy improve their thinking, movement, and ability to do everyday tasks independently.
This study tests a video game played in virtual reality to see if it helps people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) use their arms and hands better. Researchers want to understand if the game is easy to use and enjoyable.
This study uses remote technology, like apps or wearable devices, to monitor motor skills and development in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It aims to find better ways to measure how the disease progresses over time without requiring frequent clinic visits.
This study uses a small wearable device (called Syde) to track arm and hand movement in boys with Duchenne who can no longer walk. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors understand how arm function changes over time, which may guide future care.
This study looks at what helps or makes it harder for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) to stay active. It involves parents answering questionnaires to share their child's daily activity and challenges, which may help guide future care and support.
This study tests a physiotherapy program focused on the lower back and pelvis for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who can still walk. It may help improve bladder control and overall function.
