Water reveals hidden movement: new 'Bath Test' aims to better assess babies with severe muscle disease

NCT ID NCT06152302

Summary

This study is testing a new way to measure movement in infants with a severe genetic muscle disease called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Researchers will use special sensors on babies' limbs during a bath to see if water, which removes the effect of gravity, reveals more movement than tests done on a table. The goal is to create a better, more sensitive tool for doctors to track the disease and see how well treatments are working.
