VR game helps kids with muscle disease do their exercises

NCT ID NCT06274983

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether an interactive virtual reality (VR) system could help children aged 5–10 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) stick to their physiotherapy exercises at home. Fourteen children used the VR system for 8 weeks, and researchers measured how often and how long they used it, along with their physical function. The goal was to see if VR makes rehab more acceptable and enjoyable, not to cure the disease.
