Mobility assessment using wearable technology in patients with late-onset Pompe disease.


ABSTRACT: Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is a rare genetic disorder due to the absence or deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme resulting in slowly progressing reduction of muscle strength, causing difficulties with mobility and respiration. Wearable technologies offer novel options to evaluate mobility in a real-world setting. LOPD patients self-reporting LOPD, ?18 years, US residents, walking (with or without aid), and not on invasive ventilation were recruited for a 6- to 8-week wearable study via patient organizations. Eligible patients were shipped a wearable tracker (Fitbit One™) and completed self-assessment questionnaires. Mobility outcome measures were median step count and peak 1-min activity. In the analyses cohort (N?=?29), engagement in data sharing was high (94% of patients uploaded data for more than half the study days). Mean age was 43 years, 90% were females, and 93% were diagnosed in adulthood. Mean delay in diagnosis was 10 years; most had disease onset for ?10 years (55%); some required walking aid (17%) and breathing assistance (38%). Mean step count differed by age (20-39 years: 4071 vs. 40-69 years: 2394, p?p?p?p?r?=?-0.42, p?r?=?-0.49, p?
