Fall risk screening with sensors in Duchenne MD
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a machine-learning tool (like a smart computer program) to help predict fall risk in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It involves wearing sensors to track your movement and balance, which could help doctors create safer care plans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) through genetic testing.
- You are between 10 and 30 years old.
- Your arm function is rated as a 2, 3, 4, or 5 on the Brooke Scale (a measure of how well you can use your arms).
- You have weakness in the muscles that lift your arms to the side (shoulder abduction), with a manual muscle test score below 3.

This study looks at how scoliosis (curved spine) and back pain affect daily life in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Researchers will measure muscle strength and compensation patterns to understand these links.
This study uses special sensors and machine learning to predict fall risk in people who recently had a stroke. It aims to help you and your care team take steps to prevent falls.
This study uses a small wearable device (called Syde) to track arm and hand movement in boys with Duchenne who can no longer walk. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors understand how arm function changes over time, which may guide future care.
This trial tests a treatment to help people with certain types of muscular dystrophy who are afraid of falling. It aims to improve confidence and walking safety.
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 whether a fitness tracker or smartwatch can help detect your risk of falling. You will wear a device and do some simple movements, and the researchers will see if the device can warn you or your doctor about a fall risk.
