The aim of this study, carried out on 69 patients with type 1 myotonic dystrophy, was to assess the correlations between the MFM score and some organ impairments. The MFM provides an effective evaluation of muscular disability in DM1 patients.
The occurrence of cataracts and cardiac and pulmonary damage are correlated with a decrease in the MFM score.
