Motor Performance in Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy move their bodies. It also involves a simple breathing test using a device called Blue Cherry. The goal is to learn more about motor skills in children who can still walk, with or without help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (not other types)
- Can walk, with or without assistance (walker or braces)
- Able to understand and follow simple instructions for a breathing test
- No other brain or nerve conditions besides Duchenne
- No past surgery that could affect lung function, and no fixed spinal curvature (scoliosis)
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at breathing, chest and belly movement, and exercise ability in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy, as well as healthy people. The goal is to compare these functions to help understand how these diseases affect the body.
This study tests whether children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a genetic muscle-weakening condition) can improve their breathing strength and function by doing guided exercises at home using video calls with a therapist. The goal is to help children breathe better and stay as active as possible.
This trial tests a 5-week digital breathing exercise program for children with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. It aims to improve lung function using simple exercises done at home.
This study looks at what helps or limits physical activity in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Researchers will ask you and your child questions and have your child do simple physical tasks to understand their daily activity levels.
This study uses remote technology, like apps or wearable devices, to monitor motor skills and development in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It aims to find better ways to measure how the disease progresses over time without requiring frequent clinic visits.
This study tests a wrist-worn sensor (Syde) to track arm and hand movement in boys with Duchenne who cannot walk. The goal is to see if the sensor can help doctors monitor changes in arm function over time, which may help guide future care.
