NCT05890833 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2024-09-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The combination of short quantitatively assessing muscular function and balance in combination with short clinical scores, can be a new valid approach to evaluate the patient risk of fall and help to create a quick checkup test to prescribe an appropriate assistive device.

The primary goal of this project is to provide a short battery of clinical assessments used to determine risk of falling for patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) based on correlation between clinical assessments between two groups of NMD patients and scales used to assess risk of falling for patients.

Conditions

  • Inclusion Body Myositis
  • Myotonic Dystrophy
  • Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophies
  • Myasthenia Gravis
  • The Falls Efficacy Scale International
  • The Morse Fall Scale
