Virtual Reality Training for Kids With Muscle Diseases
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of a neuromuscular disease (a muscle or nerve condition) from genetic testing or clinical evaluation
- You are between 6 and 17 years old
- You are at least 120 cm (about 4 feet) tall to safely use the exercise equipment
- You have basic upper-body function and strength (a simple test will confirm this)
- You do not have other genetic conditions in addition to your neuromuscular disease
- You have no serious vision problems that would prevent you from using a VR headset
