- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the results of functional and activity limitation assesments in patients diagnosed with neuromuscular disease. Material and Methods: Patients with a stable medical condition, aged 6-80 years, diagnosed with neuromuscular disease, followed in the neuromuscular diseases outpatient clinic, were included in the study. The data of these patients were scanned retrospectively. The so-ciodemographic data of the patients and the clinical data of the neuromus-cular disease recorded at the final check-up examinations were scanned and recorded. Functional Ambulation Scale, Vignos and Brooke Scales, grip and pinch strength, independent walking status and 6 minute walking test results were recorded for functional assesment. Recorded Activlim survey results were used to assess activity limitation. It was also investigated whether there is a correlation between Activlim total score and age, Brooke, Vig-nos, Functional Ambulation Scale, grip and pinch strength, and six-minute walking tests. Results: A total of 91 patients, 69 adults and 22 children, were included in the study. The mean age was 31.1±18.7 years. 63.7% of the patients were independently mobilized, and 61.6% of them had a Functional Ambulation Scale score of 3 and below. Vignos Scale was 4 and below in 57.2%, Brooke Scale was 2 and below in 68.1% of the patients. A positive correlation was found between Activlim total score and Functional Ambu-lation Scale, grip strength, pinch grip strength and 6 min walking test, and a negative correlation was found between Vignos and Brooke Scales. However, no significant correlation was found between age and Activlim total score. Conclusion: In this study, activity limitation in neuromuscular diseases was found to be correlated with functional status, grip strength, and walking distance. In neuromuscular diseases, activity limitation should be evaluated in addition to functional evaluation.
