Summary

Our study is a randomized controlled study and the subjects included in the study will be divided into three groups as virtual reality training, biofeedback training, and conventional rehabilitation.

Detailed description

We have 3 purposes: 1. Determine the feasibility of virtual reality training in children with neuromuscular disease. 2. To determine the effect of virtual reality, biofeedback training, and conventional rehabilitation on functional levels and balances of children with neuromuscular disease. 3. To compare the motivation of children with neuromuscular disease to virtual reality, biofeedback training, and conventional rehabilitation.

Conditions

• Neuromuscular Disease
• Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy
• Virtual Reality
• Biofeedback

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Virtual Reality Training	Participants will be given a game-based workout program that includes balance and weight transfers using the XBOX Kinect ™ device in a low-to-medium intensity for 3 weeks, 3 days a week, 30 minutes per day.
OTHER	Biofeedback Training	biofeedback training will be applied to participants in 10-minute sessions with 10 seconds of voluntary contraction and 15 seconds of rest at each session. Training will last 12 weeks.
OTHER	Conventional rehabilitation	Participants will receive a 12-week conventional rehabilitation program.
