The performance of the upper limb scores correlate with pulmonary function test measures and egen klassifikation scores in duchenne muscular dystrophy

Highlights • The Performance of the Upper Limb scale was developed for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. • We aim to determine the correlation of this scale with functional ability. • The Performance of the Upper Limb scores correlated with pulmonary function. • There was inverse correlation with Egen Kl...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The Performance of the Upper Limb scale was developed for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. • We aim to determine the correlation of this scale with functional ability. • The Performance of the Upper Limb scores correlated with pulmonary function. • There was inverse correlation with Egen Klassifikation scores. • There was no correlation with heart function.
