Abstract:

Most of the neuromuscular diseases are rare diseases, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Spinal muscular atrophy are common types of neuromuscular diseases. An important feature of neuromyopathy is progressive disability. Therefore, functional assessment is very important to evaluate the severity, motor function and activities of patients with neuromuscular disease. At present, the functional assessment invoved muscle strength, range of motion, posture and activities, and applied various functional assessment tools. However, there is no unified standard yet. Accurate and reasonable evaluation is essential for multidisciplinary management team to develop individualized treatment plan for patients.

Key words: neuromyopathy, rare diseases, motor function assessment, review
