Measuring Impact of Computer Gaming on Arm Use in Rett Syndrome
Sponsor: Georgetown University
Summary
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.

Interventions
Modified Virtual Reality Gaming
Investigators customize each gaming session based on the motivators and interests of each participant. The intervention facilitates independent hand separations (minimizing stereotypies) and encourages independent arm/hand movement that serves to activate or control the computer-generated activities.
