Summary

This study tested whether a mobile app (myFSHD) can help doctors monitor patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) remotely. 70 adults with FSHD used the app at home for 12 months, completing questionnaires and video-recorded exercises. The goal was to see if patients would stick with the program and if the data collected is reliable compared to in-clinic assessments.
