Brief Summary
This study evaluates whether remotely measured daily activity behavior, captured through a thigh-worn accelerometer, can serve as a reliable and ecologically valid indicator of symptom impact in individuals with Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND). Current clinician-rated assessments capture only a single time point and do not reflect day-to-day symptom variability or functional impact. The study will (1) assess the feasibility of continuous activity monitoring in people with FND, (2) examine associations between activity behavior and established clinician- and patient-reported FND measures, and (3) qualitatively explore participants' lived experiences of daily activity. Findings aim to address a critical gap in understanding real-world function in this heterogeneous population.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Participants with FND: •Neurologist-confirmed diagnosis of functional neurologic disorder with motor symptoms, sensory symptoms, dizziness, and/or seizures Healthy Controls: * Roughly matched to participants with FND for age and sex * Free from major disease that affects mobility (e.g., neurologic, movement, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, and psychiatric disorders) by history. Exclusion Criteria: Participants with FND * Physical or cognitive symptoms impairing ability to engage with the protocol (e.g., seizure frequency \> 10/day). * Diagnosis of other major neurologic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, or psychiatric disorder that affects mobility as determined by the principal investigator
