Motor Function Measure (MFM) is a quantitative scale that makes it possible to measure the functional motor abilities of a person affected by a neuromuscular disease.

Whatever the diagnosis and the extent of motor deficiencies,

MFM allows us to :

• specify the symptomatology and the evolution of neuromuscular diseasespréciser
• objectivize the repercussion of the therapeutic measures
• direct the rehabilitation and adaptation measures
• facilitate communication between the various persons in charge of care
• select homogeneous groups of patients in view of therapeutic trials

MFM is to date the only validated and published function measurement scale usable in the majority of neuromuscular diseases, among patients from 6 to 60 years old  Read article

The MFM study group continues its research work in 2010 and validates a shorter version of the scale, the MFM-20 suitable for children aged 7 years. Since the MFM-32, MFM-20 is validated for most neuromuscular diseases.

To facilitate the internationnal dissemination of MFM, a "MFM flyer" is distributed during congress. You can download this flyer MFM using the following link (download flyer MFM French) (download flyer MFM English)
