This study is looking at how customized computer games, called Modified Virtual Reality Gaming, might help people with Rett syndrome use their arms and hands more effectively. Many individuals with Rett syndrome lose purposeful hand use and often have repetitive hand movements (stereotypies). This study hopes to reduce these repetitive movements and encourage independent arm and hand use, which could improve daily living. You might be able to join if you are 4 to 60 years old, have Rett syndrome, understand cause and effect, and have enough arm movement to control the games. The researchers will work with caregivers to make sure the games are interesting and motivating for each participant. The study is conducted remotely, meaning you can participate from home.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 10 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would participate in one-hour gaming sessions three days a week for about 12 weeks. Your arm movements will be tracked by software using brightly colored wristbands.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your independent reaching abilities will be tested at five different points over a 5-month period, with the last test occurring about a month after the intervention ends.
