Project of playul and automatized assessment of motor function in patients with NMD: MFM-Digital study

The Motor Function Measure (MFM) is a validated and sensitive tool composed of 32 items, applicable to ambulant and non ambulant patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD). It is currently used as outcome measure in clinical studies. By using digital technologies, we want to create an automatized MFM assessment. The objectives are to improve the MFM reliability and its acceptability by including the assessment in a serious game. Feasibility studies assessing the relevance of digital systems to capture postures and motions during a MFM test have shown that on 32 items of the MFM, 14 could be captured by the Kinect and 3 by a digital tablet. Here we present studies to the conception of the assessment with digital tools.
