First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looks at how young children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) walk, to see if simple walking tests can help doctors spot and predict movement problems early. Researchers will measure walking speed and other skills in 56 children under 6 years old. The goal is to create easy-to-use tools for clinics that could guide treatment decisions.
