The Neurobiology of Two Distinct Types of Progressive Apraxia of Speech
The purpose of this study is to identify and distinguish two different types of Progressive Apraxia of Speech through clinical imaging and testing.
Observational Study to Observe Variations of Gait Parameters in Patients With Neuromuscular Diseases
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.
Respiratory Functions, Thoracoabdominal Movements and Exercise Capacity in Neuromuscular Diseases
The clinical trial titled "Investigation of Respiratory Functions, Thoracoabdominal Movements, and Exercise Capacity in Neuromuscular Diseases" aims to evaluate the respiratory functions, thoracoabdominal movements, and exercise capacity in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) compared to healthy controls. The study will use spirometry, structured light …
Characterization of Inclusion Body Myopathy Associated With Paget's Disease of Bone and Frontotemporal Dementia (IBMPFD)
The investigators are researching families with inherited inclusion body myopathy (IBM) and/or Paget disease of bone (PDB) and/or dementia (FTD) which is also called IBMPFD. IBMPFD is caused by mutations in the VCP gene. Our main goal is to understand how changes in the VCP gene cause the muscle, bone …
Characterizing Perceived Physical Fatigability in Nusinersen-treated SMA
The purpose of this project is to investigate the utility of the SMA EFFORT, an SMA-specific patient-reported outcome measure, to assess perceived physical fatigability that is anchored to intensity and duration of activities. We aim to characterize perceived physical fatigability (PPF) in a diverse cohort of people with SMA (pwSMA) …
Spastic Paraplegia - Centers of Excellence Research Network
The Spastic Paraplegia - Centers of Excellence Research Network (SP-CERN) is a collaborative research consortium dedicated to advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). Aims of the consortium are to a) perform natural history studies of HSP subtypes, b) discover and …
Memory and Social Interactions
Memory and social interaction are intimately linked. On the one hand, social interaction is a privileged context for learning, and on the other hand, appropriate social interactions involve remembering the partners encountered and previous exchanges. People with Alzheimer's disease classic syndrome variant (AD) have a major impairment of episodic memory, …
Establishing Walking-related Digital Biomarkers in Rare Childhood Onset Progressive Neuromuscular Disorders
The purpose of this research is (1) to identify disease specific walking-related digital biomarkers of disease severity, and (2) monitor longitudinal changes in natural environments, for extended periods of time, in DMD and SMA.
Links Between Self-awareness and Sociocognitive Processes in Neurodegenerative Diseases
This monocentric, non-interventional study (SELFSOC) investigates the relationship between self-awareness and social cognition in patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).The primary objective is to assess metacognitive efficiency related to social cognitive performance using a computerized facial emotion recognition task combined with confidence judgments. Metacognitive indices …
Diagnostic Journey, Patient Experience, and Disparities in the Treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in the MedStar Health System
Evaluate the diagnostic journey, patient experience, and disparities in the treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in the MedStar Health System.
