Monitoring Biomarker for Detecting Change in Physical Activity and Limb Function in Inclusion Body Myositis Over Time

Recruiting
Conditions
Inclusion Body Myositis
Registration Number
NCT06153108
Lead Sponsor
University of Kansas Medical Center
Brief Summary

Inclusion-Body Myositis (IBM) results in weakness and the deterioration of distal arm muscles, the symptoms of which are currently assessed through expert examination at clinical visits. Such in-clinic assessments are time-consuming, subjective, of limited sensitivity, and only provide a snapshot of a patient's disease. In this project, the investigators will conduct clinical validation of monitoring digital biomarkers of upper limb function during activities of daily living using a wearable sensor platform that enables frequent, at-home monitoring of upper limb function health in IBM and could be incorporated into IBM trials.
