Monitoring Biomarker for Detecting Change in Physical Activity and Limb Function in Inclusion Body Myositis Over Time
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Inclusion-Body Myositis (IBM) results in weakness and the deterioration of distal arm muscles, the symptoms of which are currently assessed through expert examination at clinical visits. Such in-clinic assessments are time-consuming, subjective, of limited sensitivity, and only provide a snapshot of a patient's disease. In this project, we will conduct clinical validation of monitoring digital biomarkers of upper limb function during activities of daily living using a wearable sensor platform that enables frequent, at-home monitoring of upper limb function health in IBM and could be incorporated into IBM trials.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Investigate validity of PAMSys wrist sensor and pendant sensor as monitoring biomarker of upper and lower limb function and physical activity, including leg function, change in IBM patients. [Baseline, Month 6, Month 12]
will investigate if sensor-derived parameters measured by the PAMSys wrist sensors and pendant sensor can quantify disease severity and track subtle changes in upper and lower limb health and ambulation over time.
