Video games vs. muscle disease: VR shows promise in small trial

This study tested whether virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback training could help children with neuromuscular diseases (like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy) improve their movement and motivation. 24 children were split into three groups: VR training, biofeedback training, or standard physical therapy. Researchers measured motor function, balance, and motivation to see if the high-tech approaches offered extra benefits over usual care.
