Summary

This study is testing whether weekly music and movement sessions are practical and helpful for children with congenital myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), a rare genetic disorder that affects muscles, the brain, and the heart. Researchers will see if these sessions can improve physical ability, thinking skills, mood, and sleep quality in 13 children aged 6 to 18. The study will also collect biological samples and use wearable devices to gather information for future research.
