Summary

This study is testing whether special insoles worn inside shoes can measure how well children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) walk. About 106 participants, including healthy children, will wear the insoles during walking tests and in daily life. The goal is to find new ways to track disease progression using real-world movement data.
