Observational Study to Observe Variations of Gait Parameters in Patients with Neuromuscular Diseases
Brief Summary
This study has the general objective of observing walking parameters during a clinical test to objectively estimate fatigue in patients with neuromuscular diseases. Furthermore, the investigators want to evaluate the feasibility of collecting physical activity in daily life conditions during a one-week monitoring period using a wearable sensor.
