About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate feasibility and acceptance of wearable sensors in pediatric participants with mobility impairments and assess sensor placement options, comfort, and tolerance during therapy sessions and daily activities.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
Children and adolescents aged [6–20] years.
Ability to follow age-appropriate instructions and participate in study procedures, including wearing wearable sensors.
Pediatric patients with physical disabilities affecting mobility such as lower extremity limb loss, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, spina bifida, neuromuscular or related conditions, or typically developing, able-bodied children without known conditions affecting mobility.
Congenital or acquired unilateral lower limb loss (for individuals with lower limb loss)
Exclusion Criteria:
Medical or orthopedic conditions that preclude safe participation in study activities.
Severe cognitive, behavioral, or communication impairments that limit the ability to follow study instructions or tolerate study procedures.
Partial foot amputations (for individuals with lower limb loss)
Skin conditions, allergies, or sensitivities that prevent safe use of wearable sensors.
Any illness or condition which, based on the research team’s assessment, will compromise with the patient’s ability to comply with the protocol, patient safety, or the validity of the data collected during this study
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
