Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Upper Limb Muscle Stiffness Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) affects the stiffness of muscles in the upper limbs (arms and shoulders). The goal is to better understand muscle changes and help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your family has given permission for you to join the study.
- You have not had any arm or hand surgery, serious injury, or major bone deformity.
- You do not have serious heart or lung problems.
- You do not have another neurological condition that might affect muscle tone.

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 looks at what helps or makes it harder for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) to stay active. It involves parents answering questionnaires to share their child's daily activity and challenges, which may help guide future care and support.
This study looks at heart health in people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy to find better ways to predict and track heart problems. The goal is to improve future treatment 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.
This study tests a video game played in virtual reality to see if it helps people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) use their arms and hands better. Researchers want to understand if the game is easy to use and enjoyable.
This study collects electronic health records (medical information already in your doctor's computer system) from people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, or female carriers of these conditions. Researchers will use this data to better understand the diseases and improve care over time.
