Testing wearable sensors to track movement in ALS patients

This trial is testing a new device called Actimyo—two watch-like sensors worn on the wrists or ankles—to see if it can accurately measure how movement changes over time in people with ALS. The sensors record movement patterns in detail, and researchers want to understand whether this information could help doctors monitor disease progression more precisely. The study involves standard clinical visits where you'll complete walking tests, strength measurements, and questionnaires alongside wearing the sensors.

Currently, doctors rely on clinical exams and patient reports to track how ALS affects movement and function. This trial aims to see whether wearable sensors could provide more objective, detailed measurements of movement changes—potentially helping doctors catch disease progression earlier and design better treatment plans.
