Walking and arm movement study for nerve and muscle conditions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to walk 10 meters (about the length of a bus) without help.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of one of these: myotonic dystrophy type 1, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, myasthenia gravis, or severe obesity (BMI 35 or higher).
- If you have myotonic dystrophy or Charcot-Marie-Tooth, you should have physical symptoms like numbness or weakness.
- If you have myasthenia gravis, you must test positive for certain antibodies and have symptoms that affect daily activities (MGFA class II to IV).
- You must be willing and able to follow the study procedures and sign a consent form.

This study observes how your arms and legs move as you walk or do other activities. It compares people with conditions that affect movement (like muscle diseases) to healthy volunteers to understand differences.
This study assesses physical activity in people with different muscle diseases (like Duchenne, FSHD, and others) and in healthy volunteers. It helps doctors understand how these conditions affect daily movement and function.
This study uses a small wearable sensor (like a fitness tracker) to see how active you are at home during your daily life. The goal is to better understand how CMT1A affects movement, which may help improve future care.
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.
This study looks at how CMT affects walking, balance, and movement. It compares two groups of people with CMT: those who use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and those who have had surgery to correct a foot deformity. The goal is to understand which approach works better for improving mobility.
This study looks at how people walk and move their arms to gather normal movement patterns. It may help doctors better understand different movement conditions in the future.
