Measuring limb movement in people with FGFR3-related skeletal dysplasia
Official title: Prospective Longitudinal Multicentric Study to Measure Limb Movement in Patients With FGFR3-related Skeletal Dysplasia Using Syde®
Run by Sysnav · NCT07388966 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try using Syde® wearable movement recordings to see which measurements reliably track limb movement in people aged 3 and older with achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people aged 3 years or older with a genetically confirmed pathogenic FGFR3 variant causing achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia, who can walk unassisted for at least 10 meters and are willing to use wearable devices and complete study procedures.
✕Probably not a fit
People with short stature from other conditions, those with cognitive impairments that prevent device use or consent, or those unable to walk unassisted are unlikely to benefit from this project.

What this trial studies
This prospective, longitudinal monocentric project at Hôpital Necker will collect repeated limb movement recordings from people with FGFR3-related skeletal dysplasia using Syde® wearable technology. Participants aged 3 and older with genetically confirmed achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia who can walk at least 10 meters unassisted will wear devices and complete questionnaires during four-week recording periods every six months. The main aim is to identify which Syde®-derived digital outcomes are reliable and reproducible as natural history measures. Collected data will be analyzed for measurement reliability, feasibility of remote device use, and suitability as endpoints for future studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could provide objective digital measures to monitor limb movement and disease course, improving how progression and treatment effects are tracked.
How similar studies have gone: Wearable digital outcomes have shown promise in other movement and neuromuscular conditions, but their use specifically in FGFR3-related skeletal dysplasia is still novel and largely unproven.

Subjects who have short stature condition other than ACH/HCH. 2. Presence of cognitive disorders that limit their understanding of the data collection process (training of device use and 4-week recording periods every 6 months, device return at the end of the study), the implication of the study and consent. 3.
