Summary

This study is testing a virtual reality game designed specifically for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Six participants aged 7 and older will play the game once using a VR headset and hand tracking. Researchers will measure how easy and enjoyable the game is, and whether it causes any discomfort. This is an early-stage study focused on user experience, not on whether the game improves health.
