Italian clinicians have compiled data from the literature published between 2000 and 2021 concerning the technological assessment tools used, routinely or during trials, in neuromuscular patients.
- Four areas are concerned: gait assessment, continuous monitoring of physical activity, assessment of upper limb function and assessment of muscle strength.
- Some of these tools are more particularly suited to home assessments, a highly sought-after quality in these times of a pandemic.
- The Kinect system and the Myotools have already been methodologically validated and are beginning to be used in trials or natural history studies.
