Between 2005 and 2007, among 100 adults (18-78y) with Steinert myotonic dystrophy or facio-scapulohuméral dystrophy randomly selected in reference center of Nice consultation, were collected: the MFM, the muscle testing of the limbs, face and spine, Brooke and Vignos scores. MFM scores were compared with other scores by Spearman correlation coefficient and principal component analysis. The results confirm the validity of the MFM in these pathologies. The routine use of the 3 domains D1, D2 and D3 is recommended, and for a more detailed analysis of the face and trunk, complete clinical evaluation by a muscle testing. (French article)
