Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The ActiLiège-Adult study aims to address these limitations by leveraging the Syde® device, a wearable magneto-inertial sensor worn on the wrist and/or ankle, to continuously monitor motor activity in daily life. This device has been previously validated in DMD and other neuromuscular conditions and has been used in both interventional and natural history studies.
This academic study will enroll 300 ambulant adult patients, including 220 with neurological diseases and 20 with obesity, with a minimum of 20 patients per disease type. Ambulation is defined as the ability to walk 10 meters unaided. Patients who lose ambulation during the study will continue to be followed with adapted assessments.
Participants will be monitored for up to two years (six months for diseases affecting the neuromuscular junction). Standardized clinical assessments-including timed tests, motor function evaluations, and strength measurements-will be conducted at baseline and every six months. These will be compared with continuous data collected by the Syde® device. Additionally, patients will complete a Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) questionnaire every six months.
The study's goal is to generate robust, real-world data to support the development of objective, sensitive, and clinically meaningful digital endpoints for use in future therapeutic trials targeting movement disorders.

It is composed of two watch-like sensors, each containing a magneto-inertial sensors that record the linear acceleration, the angular velocity, the magnetic field of the movement in all directions.The two watches can be worn as wristwatch or placed near the ankle.
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT)
This test consists of covering the greatest possible distance within 6 minutes, walking back and forth along a 25-meter hallway. The subject may stop if they need to. The evaluator will record the elapsed time after each half-lap, and the final distance that was covered at the end of the test. No help will be allowed during the test.
The 10-meter test (10MWT)
During this test, the subject must cover a distance of 10 meters as rapidly as possible. This test will be performed 3 times. The participant will be allowed to rest for one minute after the first and second instances of the test. No help will be allowed during the test.
