NCT ID NCT07488650
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether special exercises and virtual reality games can help children aged 7 to 10 with specific learning disabilities improve their motor skills, balance, and coordination. 45 children will be split into three groups: one doing perceptual-motor exercises, one using virtual reality, and a control group continuing their usual education. The goal is to see if these fun activities can make everyday movements easier and boost participation in daily life.
