Brief summary
The Motor Function Measure (MFM) is a functional rating scale consisting of 32 items assessing motor functional abilities in a person with neuromuscular disease. By exploring the potential of digital technologies applied to MFM, for each item completion we want to create digital animations containing different playful and informative scenarios. This digital evolution aims to standardize assessment on the therapist's side, but also to improve acceptance of scale and patient participation. Despite the modification of the MFM completion by digital animation, the study hypothesis is that the metrological qualities of the scale are retained. Through the MFM-Play pilot study, the objective is to test 5 items of the MFM-Play scale before carrying out a validation study of the total MFM-Play.
Interventions
Neuromuscular patients will complete five items of the MFM (items 18 to 22) either conventionally or using the MFM-Play with 2 different therapists, on the same day. The order of the MFM type completion will be determined by randomization. Both therapists will rate items 18 to 22 blindly.
