Official Title: The FBIndex to Determine the Risk of Falls and Its Translation to Assistive Gait Device Care for Patients With Neuromuscular Disorders
Brief Summary:
The combination of short quantitatively assessing muscular function and balance in combination with short clinical scores, can be a new valid approach to evaluate the patient risk of fall and help to create a quick checkup test to prescribe an appropriate assistive device.The primary goal of this project is to provide a short battery of clinical assessments used to determine risk of falling for patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) based on correlation between clinical assessments between two groups of NMD…
