ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The objective of this study was to confirm the validity of a short form of gross motor function measure for Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy (GMFM for FCMD).METHODS:
This study is a case series and was conducted at the Tokyo Women's Medical University. Fifteen patients with FCMD were assessed using both the GMFM for FCMD with 68 items, which was created as a motor function measure for patients with FCMD on the basis of Rasch analysis, and the original GMFM with 88 items. The correlation between the GMFM for FCMD and the Ueda classification was assessed. Time required for each assessment was also evaluated.RESULTS:
We found significant correlation between the GMFM for FCMD and the Ueda classification (r = 0.935); furthermore, the mean assessment time tended to decrease when using the GMFM for FCMD.CONCLUSIONS:
GMFM for FCMD may be an appropriate motor function scale for patients with FCMD and might help decrease the assessment time.Palabras clave
