Physiotherapists are demanding of valid outcome measures to assess the evolution of their patient’s motor functions in order to precisely describe the effects of treatments and the progress of diseases. Hence, several scales such as the motor function measure (MFM) have been developed with the aim to measure, with validity and reproducibility and sensitivity, the motor functions of patients with neuromuscular disease. This study quantitatively measured children’s motor function with a low-cost, non-invasive and plug and play technological tool that avoids the uncertain characteristic of human evaluation and increases involvement. This project aims to propose a precise and reproducible tool to be used as an outcome measure for the MFM protocol in clinical trials.
