- The North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) is used to evaluate motor skills in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic muscle disorder.
- Cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese was conducted using multiple translation and validation methods, involving both healthy boys and those with DMD for comprehensive analysis.
- The assessment was found to be reliable with high internal consistency and strong reproducibility, as well as valid, showing good correlations with other established motor function measures.
