Rehabilitation technology in assessment and treatment of arm and hand function in myotonic dystrophy type 1: A single subject experimental design study

Impairment in arm- and hand function affects independence in people with DM1.Our findings suggest that exercising arm- and hand using rehabilitation technology may have a positive effect on function measured by dexterity, strength, and movement in DM1. There is a need to study the effect of exercise on arm- and hand function in DM1 in larger studies. The use of video-consultations can be a supplement in assessment of people with neuromuscular conditions in research and clinical practise.
