RECRUITING

Measuring Impact of Computer Gaming on Arm Use in Rett Syndrome

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Using a tele-research approach, we will recruit, enroll, guide and support carers and participants to engage in computer based activities (modified virtual reality) with the primary outcome of reducing stereotypies and increasing independent arm and hand use and secondary outcome of improving quality of living. Because of our virtual approach, we are able to recruit from multiple countries and all states and territories of the USA.

Official Title

Assessing the Effectiveness of Customized Computer Activities on Reducing Stereotypies and Improving Independent Upper Extremity Motor Skills in Persons with Rett Syndrome
