Validation of the North Star Assessment for Limb-Girdle Type Muscular Dystrophies

Meredith K. James et al.

Summary: The North Star Assessment for limb-girdle type muscular dystrophies (NSAD) is a reliable and valid clinician-reported outcome measure (ClinRO) of motor performance for individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). This study found that NSAD can effectively assess motor function across a broad spectrum of LGMD phenotypes. It demonstrated good spread of items, excellent interrater reliability, and high correlation with other assessment scores. The NSAD is suitable for use in clinical practice and research settings.

Patient-led development of digital endpoints and the use of computer vision analysis in assessment of motor function in rare diseases

Elisa Ferrer-Mallol et al.

Summary: Digital health technologies are revolutionizing the way health outcomes are assessed, providing more objective and continuous data collection and analysis. This technology allows for home-based disease assessments, reducing patient burden and offering a more comprehensive understanding of patient experiences in the real world. The development of tools utilizing digital biomarkers for measuring drug efficacy in disease-specific outcomes is crucial for the successful development of new treatments, especially for rare and chronic complex conditions.

Remote Delivery of Motor Function Assessment and Training for Clinical Trials in Neuromuscular Disease: A Response to the COVID-19 Global Pandemic

Meredith K. James et al.

Summary: The implementation of remote assessments by physical therapists allows for the provision of professional clinical care on a global scale, ensuring the continued collection of key endpoints and meeting the needs of patients for equipment, home, and work environment. The development of remote assessments was mainly prompted by the restrictions on face-to-face contact due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, improving various clinical trials and studies as a result.
