Assessments in Patients With Muscular Pathology and in Control Subjects : The ActiLiège Next Study

Gait Analysis Parameter, Stair Climbing and Upper Limb Evaluation in Patients With Muscular Pathology and in Control Subjects: The ActiLiège Next Study

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The objective of the ActiLiège Next study is to collect longitudinal data from patients and control subjects using a wearable magneto-inertial device. By collecting natural history data in various neuromuscular disorders (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Fascioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, Myotonic Dystrophy 1, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Centronuclear Myopathy, Congenital Muscular Dystrophy), we aim to validate digital outcome measures to continuously assess motor function in real-life.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Inclusion criteria - For the patients: - Genetically confirmed diagnosis of DMD, FSHD, DM1, CMT or FKRP mutations or confirmed CNM based on muscle biopsy. - FSHD, DM1, CMT and CNM patients should be ambulant or in transition. - DM1 and CMT patients should present sensori-motor signs on physical examination. - Under the age of 20 years for patients with DMD, CNM or between the ages of 5 and 80 years for patients with FSHD, CMT and DM1. - More than 2 years old for patients with FKRP mutations - Non-ambulant DMD patients must be able to remain seated in an arm- or a wheelchair for at least one hour. - Patients with DMD treated with corticosteroids for at least 6 months or initiated corticosteroid at V0 (except for patients under 4). - Signed willing to sign a consent form form by patient himself or, in case of minor patients, signed willing to sign a consent form form by patient's parents or legal guardians. - For the control subjects: - Ambulant boys and girls under 20 years old - Signed willing to sign a consent form form by patient him/herself or, in case of minor patients, signed willing to sign a consent form form by patient's parents or legal guardians. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - For the patients: - Patients with extreme cognitive disorders that limit their understanding of the exercises to be performed. - Patients who have undergone a surgical procedure or who have experienced recent trauma (within fewer than 6 months) affecting the upper or lower limbs (for ambulant patients). - A concomitant chronic or acute neurological, endocrine, infectious, allergic, or inflammatory pathology within the 3-week period immediately prior to inclusion. - Patients who are participating in an interventional clinical trial. - DMD patients in transition who are not on corticosteroids. - For the control subjects: - Patients who have undergone a surgical procedure or who have experienced recent trauma (within fewer than 6 months) affecting the upper or lower limbs. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
