NCT ID NCT07437378

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study measured calf muscle thickness and length in 26 children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (ages 6-12) who could still walk. Researchers used ultrasound and motion analysis to see how muscle structure relates to walking and other movements. The goal was to better understand the disease, not to test a treatment.
