VirtualPark_Pediatric
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Dystrophinopathy, Muscular Dystrophies, Congenital Myopathies
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of a dual-task, multimodal training program on slowing functional motor decline in children and adolescents with neuromuscular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Virtual Park slow functional motor decline in children and adolescents with neuromuscular diseases compared with standard therapy? Does Virtual Park contribute to increased engagement and improved neuropsychological function? If there is a comparison group, Researchers will compare dual-task cycling supported by the Virtual Park application to standard therapy to see whether it improves motor and neuropsychological functions and engagement. Participants will undergo two phases: * Phase 1: 3 months of standard therapy; * Phase 2: 3 months of experimental conditions in which patients undergo a rehabilitative intervention with Virtual Park, 3 times a week.
