Video games and AI join the fight against a rare movement disorder

This study is testing whether a new digital tool—using AI-powered video games and a single camera—can accurately measure movement problems in people with Friedreich ataxia, a rare inherited condition that affects balance and coordination. Participants play short movement-based computer games while AI software tracks their motions. The goal is to see if these game-based measurements are reliable and sensitive enough to be used in future clinical trials, potentially offering a more objective and patient-friendly alternative to standard rating scales.
