Clinical assessment is an essential step not only in the follow-up of patients with neuromuscular pathology but also in the context of trials, whether natural history studies or therapeutic protocols. A group of 14 experts, mostly American, English and Italian physiotherapists, came up with recommendations:
- to advance the reliability and validity of these assessments,
- in longer term, we hope to obtain better standardization, the only guarantee of comparisons between the data obtained,
- this involves a phase of learning by the less expert, who will benefit from the many educational materials in the field (including videos).
