Classification
Exploratory: Myotonic Dystrophy (DM )
Short Description of Instrument
Pathology: Musculoskeletal diseases and Nervous System diseses
 
Disease: Muscular Diseases (Neuromuscular Diseases)
 
Objective: To measure HRQOL dimensions specific to patients with neuromuscular disorders including Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
 
Population for intended use: Adolescent and Pediatrics
Scoring
Scoring: Based on a 5-point Likert scale; 0 (Never) to 4 (Almost always). Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100. To Transform score, itens are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. Scores are then calculated by dimensions: If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the scale scores should not be computed.
 
Mean score: equals the sume of the items over the number of items answered.
 
Total score: equals the sum of all the items over the number of items answered on all the scales.
 
Score Intepretation: The higher the score indicate lower problems. If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the Scale Scores should not be computed. If %0% or more items are completed: Impute the mean of the completed items in a scale.
