What is known about muscle weakness, balance impairments and indoor mobility limitations in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy? A scoping review
This scoping review highlights the current knowledge on muscle strength, balance and mobility limitations in OPMD. A lack of balance and complete mobility assessments, and OPMD-specific questionnaire for motor impairments or mobility limitations are noted. Future studies should focus on using standardized clinical outcome assessments to better document these impairments/limitations.
