Study Summary

This trial will use a tele-research approach to recruit, enroll, guide and support carers and participants in computer-based activities (modified virtual reality) with the goal of reducing stereotypies and increasing independent arm and hand use, and improving quality of living.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Rett Syndrome who understand cause and effect, can move their arms to control games, and have no other conditions affecting shoulder movement. It's open to participants from multiple countries and all US states.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if modified virtual reality gaming can reduce repetitive movements (stereotypies) and improve independent arm use in people with Rett Syndrome, aiming also to enhance quality of life through a tele-research approach.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves computer-based activities without medication or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, fatigue or frustration may occur due to game challenges.
