Fear of Falling in Muscular Dystrophy Trial

This study tests a simple program where you learn to safely get down to and up from the floor to help manage fear of falling. It is for healthy adults who want to feel more confident handling a fall.
This study is creating a test to predict falls in people with neuromuscular disorders. You will fill out a questionnaire about your fall risk.
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.
This study looks at how walking changes over time in people with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). It aims to understand walking patterns to help improve future care.
This study looks at how confident people with Parkinson's are in their balance and whether fear of falling (kinesiophobia) affects their daily life. The goal is to better understand these factors so that future treatments can help people stay active and safe.
This study tests if using assistive walking devices, after a short training period, can lower the risk of falls in people with neuromuscular diseases. It aims to help you stay steady and safe on your feet.
