Validation of a Digital Interface for Assessment of Motor Function Based on MFM

Patients with neuromuscular diseases undergo frequent motor assessments. The MFM scale (Motor Function Measure) is a validated scale for all neuromuscular diseases. Tasks 18, 19, and 22 have the potential to have a digitized version on a Tablet. This article proposes to digitalize a first version of items 18, 19 and 22 based on MFM. The results show that the scores were similar for the Tablet version and the paper version.
