“…Those skills have a profound impact on how effectively objects are handled in daily activities, and limited hand function with reduced grip strength is a frequently reported symptom in DM1. 6,23,24 However, unlike previous research, our findings suggest that hand function is only a minor factor hampering daily activity performance, whereas process skills are the main factors and should definitely be considered when assessing the risk of limitations in daily activity performance.…”

Aims To identify and describe the profile characterizing motor and process skills during daily activity performance in individuals with congenital and childhood forms of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and to investigate differences in performance between subgroups. Method Sixty participants (34 males, 26 females, mean age=17y 8mo, SD=6y 0mo, range 5y 8mo–29y 0mo) were divided into severe congenital (n=9), mild congenital (n=20), and childhood (n=31) DM1 subgroups. Daily activity performance was evaluated using a standardized observational instrument: the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills. Results Deficits in performance were more pronounced in process than motor skills. Performance more than 2 SDs below age‐specific norms was seen in 65% of participants for process skills and 33% of participants for motor skills. The cut‐off scores indicated a potential need for assistance in daily activities for 79% of participants older than 18 years of age (n=28) due to deficient process skills. Interpretation Extensive deficits in daily activity performance were found in congenital and childhood forms of DM1, mainly owing to deficient process skills. Such skills impact on the ability to perform daily activities and could explain dependency in individuals with DM1. Process skills should be considered when evaluating daily activity performance. What this paper adds Young people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 show deficits in motor and process skills when performing daily activities, compared with normative data. Deficits in process skills were more pronounced than deficits in motor skills.

“…From the 39 studies that used quantitative muscle test, 17 studies did not report the method used [57,[68][69][70]73,[75][76][77][78][79]81,82,85,86,107,108,110], ten studies assessed maximum isometric torque [53,59,62,63,65,[70][71][72]79,108], seven studies assessed maximal voluntary isometric contraction [54,55,58,66,67,73,87] Maximal voluntary isometric contraction was used to assess the strength of Abductor digiti minimi [54], ankle dorsiflexors [58,87], ankle plantar flexors [87], grip strength [56,66,67], elbow flexors [73], elbow extensors [73], hip abductors [87], hip extensors [87], knee extensors [58, 73,87], knee flexors [73,87] and pinch strength [56]. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction results were between...…”

“…Adults with a genetically DNA-confirmed diagnosis of DM1 and presenting with the adult-onset or late-onset phenotype were recruited from the Saguenay Neuromuscular Clinic (Quebec, Canada). As part of a funded longitudinal study, 200 patients with DM1 were included at baseline (T1) (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) and were invited to attend a follow-up 9 years later (T2) (19)(20). At T2 59 of the 200 patients had died, 8 had left the region, 4 were excluded due to severe cognitive impairment, and 14 declined to participate (for personal reasons or lack of interest).…”
