Virtual Reality Game for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Arm Strength
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a clinical diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
- You are at least 7 years old
- Your arm and hand function is at Brooke level 4 or better (you can still move your arms with some strength)
- You can understand simple instructions and follow them
- You can use your arms and hands to interact with a virtual reality headset and controller
- You don't have other neurological conditions besides DMD, severe vision problems, or severe arm stiffness that would prevent you from playing

This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) games can help improve arm and hand function in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It may be a fun and engaging way to do exercises that strengthen your upper body.
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.
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 tests whether a virtual reality-based exercise program can help children and teens with diagnosed muscle diseases improve their strength and function. Participants use a special exercise bike while wearing a VR headset to make training more engaging.
This study looks at how to help young people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. It may help you or your loved one plan for more independent adult life and get the right support.
