About this trial

The objective of this study is to develop office-based tools to quantify gait in young children with NF1 that reflect overall gross motor impairment and predict future gross motor difficulties.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Children who are independently ambulatory who meet revised diagnostic criteria for NF1

Children less than or equal to 71 months of age

Disqualifiers

Age ≥ 6 years old, inability to walk 10 meters independently, non-NF1 medical illness that alters their physical or neurological abilities that could significantly impact their performance.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Developmental Assessment of Young Children (DAYC-2) Score

Assessment of child neurodevelopmental function in which novel tasks are performed; each task is pass/fail and scored 0 or 1 point. A raw score is calculated and converted to a standard score as follows: \<70 (Very Poor); 70-79 (Poor); 80-89 (Below Average); 90-110 (Average); 111-120 (Above Average); 121-130 (Superior); \>130 (Very Superior); higher scores indicate greater function.

Time frame
Baseline, 12 Months, 24 Months
2

Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale Score

Comprehensive, standardized measure of an individual's personal and social sufficiency to assist in diagnosing intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD. The raw score is converted to a standardized score with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15; higher scores indicate greater daily functioning.

Time frame
Baseline, 12 Months, 24 Months
3

10-Meter Walk Test Score

Measure of gait; how quickly a participant can complete a 10-meter walk.

Time frame
Baseline, 12 Months, 24 Months
