Brief Summary

The task consists in reach as much bubbles as they can, the bubbles appear on the screen of the computer and should be reached in 10 seconds. To accomplish that, three different devices will be used: (1) Kinect for Windows Microsoft - which consists of a sensor that captures body movements (including upper limbs). And (2) the Leap Motion (LMCH, Leap Motion, Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA), and (3) Touch Screen. To describe motor impairments was used the Motor Function Measure Scale; Scale Vignos and Scale Egen Klassifikation;

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Motor performance improvement in a virtual Timing Coincident task, with better performance on the LeapMotion compared to TouchScreen and Kinect.

  Analysis of the motor performance using a virtual Coincident timing task in different devices to compare wether a task with or without contact promote better performance for people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
