Validity of the motor function measurement scale when routinely used in the follow-up of adult outpatients in a neuromuscular center
Date put on line :
Between 2005 and 2007, among 100 adults (18-78y) with Steinert myotonic dystrophy or facio-scapulohuméral dystrophy randomly selected in reference center of Nice consultation, was collected: the MFM, the muscle testing of the limbs, face and spine, Brooke and Vignos scores. MFM scores were compared with other scores by Spearman correlation coefficient and principal component analysis. The results confirm the validity of the MFM in these pathologies. Therefore we recommend the routine use of 3 dimensions D1, D2 and D3, and for a more detailed analysis of the face and trunk, complete clinical evaluation by a muscle testing. (French article)

Upper limb function in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Date put on line :
This study illustrates a large variability in upper limb function in adult patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and identifies muscle strength and range of motion as factors strongly associated with upper limb function.
These results suggest that preserving muscle strength and range of motion in Duchenne patients might be relevant for a better outcome of distal motor function of the upper limb when adult.

Muscular disability and organ impairments in myotonic dystrophy type 1
Date put on line :
The purpose of this study, conducted among 69 patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 was to assess the correlation between MFM score and some organ. MFM score appears as a good indicator for monitoring these patients. The occurrence of cataracts and heart and pulomnary damage are correlated with a decrease in score MFM.

Regional Body composition and functional impairment in patients with Myotonic Dystrophy
Date put on line :
In this study, fat-free mass index (FFMI), fat mass index (FMI) and functional impairment were examined in 48 patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 subjects and anthropometrically matched control pairs.

ESCALA MEDIDA DA FUNÇÃO MOTORA (MFM): NOVO
Date put on line :
objective of this study were: to translate the French version of Motor Function Measure (MFM) into the Portuguese language; to describe the inter and intraexaminer reliability of the Portuguese MFM version (P-MFM); to validate the PMFM in Brazilian patients with neuromuscular disease; to analyzed the applicability of the P-MFM in congenital fibre type disproportion (CFTD), associated with muscle magnetic resonance image, and in Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (MD-1), correlating with the strength. Methods: for the accomplishment of the Portuguese MFM version scale, two MFM translations were produced separately by proficient neurologists in French, resulting in a consensual text after evaluation by authors.

Motor Function Measure: portuguese versionand reliability analysis Iwabe C., Miranda-Pfeilsticker BH., Nucci A. Sept/Oct 2008
Date put on line :
Abstract: Functional evaluation instruments for patients with neuromuscular disorders are rare. The Motor Function Measure (MFM) scale is available in the originale French version and in English and Spanish translations. Objective: to make a Portuguese translation of the MFM and to identify its intra and inter-examiner reliability.
