In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSH) is one of the most common genetic myopathies in adults. It is characterised by progressive asymmetric muscular atrophy affecting the skeletal muscles of the face, upper limbs and then lower limbs, causing problems with walking, which is one of the most frequent complaints of these patients. In fact, 20% of people with FSH require a wheelchair from the age of 60. To date, scientific research into FSH has focused mainly on the molecular level, enabling potential therapeutic targets to be identified. Trials of gene therapies and other drug therapies are gradually emerging, with the aim of having a positive impact on these people\'s functional abilities, particularly walking difficulties. However, few studies have looked at the functional impact of FSH on these people, and in particular at the specific analysis of their walking ability In Fran
