Use of assistive technology to assess distal motor function in subjects with neuromuscular disease.

ABSTRACT: Among the 32 items of the Motor Function Measure scale, 3 concern the assessment of hand function on a paper-based support. Their characteristics make it possible to envisage the use of a tablet instead of the original paper-based support for their completion. This would then make it possible to automate the score to reduce intra- and inter-individual variability. The main objective of the present study was to validate the digital completion of items 18, 19, and 22 by measuring the agreement of the scores obtained using a digital tablet with those obtained using the original paper-based support in children and adults with various neuromuscular diseases (NMD). The secondary objective is to calibrate an algorithm for the automatic items scoring.
