RECRUITINGOBSERVATIONAL
Holter of Movement in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
About This Trial
ActiALS is a multicentric academic study. Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may be included on a voluntary basis. The investigators plan to include a group of approximately 30 patients with ALS. The investigators have planned to assess patient every three months for a year. After each visit, participants will wear Actimyo for one month daily.

Who May Qualify:
- Clinically defined or probable diagnosis of ALS according to El Escorial criteria revised with Awaji's electro-diagnostic algorithm.
- Over 18 years old.
- Signed willing to sign a consent form
- If patient on Riluzole, the dosage should be stable for 1 month and continued throughout the study period.
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- Patients with excessive cognitive disorders, limiting the understanding of task or with apparent communication difficulties hindering data collection.
- Any other previous or present pathology having an impact on motor function.
- Recent surgery or trauma (less than 6 months) in the upper or lower limbs.
- Prior neurological, endocrine, infectious, allergic, or chronic or acute inflammatory pathology in the three weeks preceding inclusion.

DEVICE
Actimyo
Actimyo is an innovative device intended to be used in a home-based environment. It is composed of two watch-like sensors, each containing a magneto-inertial sensors that record the linear acceleration, the angular velocity, the magnetic field of the movement in all directions.The two watches can be worn as wristwatch or placed near the ankle.
