Characterization of Strength and Function in Ambulatory Adults With GNE Myopathy.
J Clin Neuromuscul Dis
September 2017
Objective: To characterize the pattern and extent of muscle weakness and impact on physical functioning in adults with GNEM.
Methods: Strength and function were assessed in GNEM subjects (n = 47) using hand-held dynamometry, manual muscle testing, upper and lower extremity functional capacity tests, and the GNEM-Functional Activity Scale (GNEM-FAS).
Results: Profound upper and lower muscle weakness was measured using hand-held dynamometry in a characteristic pattern, previously described.
