Remote study using technology to track DMD in young boys
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a boy with DMD between 1 and 3 years old
- You can walk 10 meters independently
- Your diagnosis of DMD has been confirmed by genetic testing
- A parent or guardian must be willing to help with remote assessments from home
- You have not had limb surgery or injury in the last 6 months
- You have not taken oral steroids for DMD before joining

This study remotely tracks motor development in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy who were diagnosed at birth or before symptoms started. It aims to see if early monitoring helps improve long-term care and outcomes.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
