Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Functional Mobility Scale (FMS)
Time Frame: 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)
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- 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.)
