What affects physical activity in children with DMD?
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
- Your child should be between 6 and 14 years old.
- Your child must be able to walk (even if with some difficulty) – this study is for children who are still walking on their own.
- Your child should not have had any surgery or injury to their bones or muscles in the last 6 months.
- You, as the parent or main caregiver, must be willing to answer some questionnaires and should not be caring for another child or adult with a disability.

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 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 tracks development and health in young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy during the first three years of life. It aims to better understand early signs and how the condition progresses, which may help improve care and future treatments.
This study is testing whether a fun, game-like online physiotherapy program can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (ages 6 to 12) improve their strength and movement. It may be a good fit if your son can walk, does regular physiotherapy, and has internet access at home.
This study tests whether a special program that combines thinking tasks (like counting or remembering) with physical activities can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy improve their thinking, movement, and ability to do everyday tasks independently.
This study looks at how children and teens with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) walk, by having them do walking tests while wearing sensors. The goal is to find better ways to track how these diseases progress and how treatments work over time, without needing blood tests or scans.
