Evaluation of the Impact of a Rehabilitation Intervention Based on Cycling With Virtual Park on Slowing the Functional Motor Decline of Neuromuscular Patients in Developmental Age

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.

Skupina účastníků / Arm
Intervence / Léčba
Experimentální: Two-phase arm
  • 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 for 20 minutes (plus 5-10 minutes of warm-up and 5-10 minutes of cool down).
VirtualPark is a software application connecting to a medical certified cycle/arm ergometer (i.e., TheraTrainer TIGO). The application allows for dual task training. In particular, while cycling, participants can perform one of four different available exercises. Each exercise is focused on a specific cognitive domain: Task 1: visual attention, inhibition and cognitive flexibility; Task 2: working memory; Task 3: inhibition; Task 4: navigation.
Participants undergo their standard plan: outpatient treatment, if planned, or no treatment.

Motor Function Measure-32 (MFM-32) - Total score
Časové okno: Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months (post-standard therapy, T1), 6 months (post-VirtualPark intervention, T2)
The Motor Function Measure-32 is a motor skills assessment scale validated for patients affected by neuromuscular pathology from 6 years of age. The instrument consists of 32 items (scored from 0 to 3) divided into 3 dimensions: D1- standing position and transfers (13 items), D2- axial and proximal motor skills (12 items) and D3- distal motor skills (7 items). The results are expressed as a percentage in relation to the maximum score. The result of each dimension corresponds to the sum of the scores obtained by the subject in the items of this dimension divided by the maximum score of the same dimension and multiplied by 100. For the MFM-32 the total score corresponds to the sum of all the scores attributed to the subject (all dimensions together) divided by 96 and multiplied by 100.

North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSSA)
Časové okno: Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months (post-standard therapy, T1), 6 months (post-VirtualPark intervention, T2)
[FOR AMBULATORY PARTICIPANTS ONLY] The North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSSA) scale was developed specifically for ambulatory children with dystrophinopathy starting at age 5 to obtain information on their motor and functional abilities. The instrument consists of 17 items scored from 0 to 2. The final score is the sum of the scores obtained for all items. Two timed tests are also recorded: the time to stand up from the ground and the time required to walk/run 10 meters.
Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months (post-standard therapy, T1), 6 months (post-VirtualPark intervention, T2)
Timed functional tests (TFTs)
Časové okno: Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months (post-standard therapy, T1), 6 months (post-VirtualPark intervention, T2)
[FOR AMBULATORY PARTICIPANTS ONLY] Timed functional tests (TFTs) are administered in a standardized manner to subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to measure the time taken to perform the following four activities: moving from a supine to a standing position, walking/running for 10 meters, and ascending and descending a standardized 4-step staircase. The scoresheet records, in addition to the time taken to complete the task, a qualitative grading score from 1 to 6.

6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT)
Časové okno: Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months (post-standard therapy, T1), 6 months (post-VirtualPark intervention, T2)
[FOR AMBULATORY PARTICIPANTS ONLY] The 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) was developed in the cardio-respiratory field but is now used across various fields of motor rehabilitation where it is necessary to quantify the patient's walking endurance. The test measures the distance a patient can cover, walking on a flat surface along a standardized path, in a period of 6 minutes [25]. In addition to the total distance covered, the distances covered for each minute are also collected and any falls/pauses are recorded.

Performance Upper Limb Module 2.0 scale (PUL version 2.0)
Časové okno: Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months (post-standard therapy, T1), 6 months (post-VirtualPark intervention, T2)
[FOR NON-AMBULATORY PARTICIPANTS ONLY] The Performance Upper Limb Module 2.0 scale (PUL version 2.0) was developed to evaluate the motor performance of the upper limbs of subjects with dystrophinopathies from 5 years of age. This latest version of the instrument consists of an entry item useful for defining the patient's functional level and scored separately (from 0 to 6) and of 22 other items (scored from 0 to 2). The final score is made up of 2 values: the entry level score and the total score given by the sum of the scores obtained in the individual items [26].

Performance change in the Assisted 6-minute cycling test (A6MCT). The A6MCT is a submaximal endurance test performed by pedaling with a cycle ergometer in passive mode for both upper and lower limbs, specifically created for subjects affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, both ambulatory and non-ambulatory. The final score records the number of complete revolutions performed in 6 minutes; the number of revolutions per minute and any breaks requested by the subject are also recorded [27].

NEPSY-II
Časové okno: Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months (post-standard therapy, T1), 6 months (post-VirtualPark intervention, T2)

The NEPSY-II scale is a battery of tests that allows a neuropsychological evaluation of pediatric subjects, in relation to specific cognitive domains. It is composed of 33 tests that refer to 6 different cognitive domains (Attention and Executive Functions, Language, Memory and Learning, Sensorimotor Functions, Social Perception, Visuospatial Processing).

For the purposes of the study, the items "list memory" and "drawing memory" (Memory and Learning domain), the item "Inhibition" (Attention and Executive Functions domain) and the item "find the way" (Visuospatial Processing domain) are used.
