Evaluation of Gait Performance in Children With Neuromuscular Diagnoses
- Conditions
- Psychometrics of Two Translated Measurement Tools
- Registration Number
- NCT02237222
- Lead Sponsor
- University Children's Hospital, Zurich
- Brief Summary
The aims of this project are to evaluate the psychometric properties of the German versions of the two performance questionnaires 'Functional Mobility Scale' (FMS) and 'Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire - walking scale' (GFAQ) in children between 6-18 years with a neuromuscular diagnosis.
- Detailed Description
The German versions of the two questionnaires 'Functional Mobility Scale' (FMS) and 'Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire - walking scale' (GFAQ) are evaluated in terms of construct validity, inter- and intra-rater reliability as well as responsiveness in children with a neuromuscular diagnosis, who absolve an inpatient stay in the rehabilitation center of the University Chilren's Hospital Zurich, Switzerland.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with measurements at admission and discharge. The questionnaire is filled in independently by the parents, the primary nurse as well as the physiotherapist of each child.
Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire - Walking Scale (GFAQ) Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with measurements at admission and discharge. The questionnaire is filled in independently by the parents, the primary nurse as well as the physiotherapist of each child.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Global Rating Scale (GRS) Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with only one measurement at discharge. A global rating on the perceived change of the child's functional mobility over the rehabilitation period and whether this change is perceived as meaningful or not; on a 5-point Likert scale, scored by the parents and the physiotherapist.
