dc.description.abstractMeasuring muscle strength and motor function is part of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) assessment. However, the relationship between these variables is controversial. Objective: To investigate the relationship between muscle strength and motor function and between these variables and age. Method: Muscle strength was measured by Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and motor function, by Motor Function Measure (MFM), in 40 non-ambulatory patients. Spearman tests investigated the relationships between muscle strength, motor function and age. Results: Total MRC and MFM scores were strongly related to each other (r = 0.94en
dc.description.abstractp < 0.001), but not to age (r = -0.19, r = -0.31, respectivelyen
dc.description.abstractp > 0.05). Strong and moderate relationships between partial muscle strength and motor function scores were found. Higher correlation coefficients were found between total scores and Dimensions 2 (axial/ proximal control) and 3 (distal control) of MFM. Conclusion: Muscle strength and motor function are strongly correlated and seem to decrease proportionally in DMD.en
