“…Between February and December of 2014, a total of 60 individuals participated (convenience sample), 30 individuals with ALS (18 men and 12 women, mean age 59 years, range 44–74 years) and 30 healthy individuals who formed the control group, which were (equally) matched individually for age and gender with the ALS group. The inclusion criteria of this study were individuals diagnosed with ALS defined according to the revised classification of El Escorial [28, 29] who regularly attended the Neuromuscular Disease Research Sector (SIDNM) of the Federal University of São Paulo. Considering that the device systems offer motion capture in three dimensions with high sensitivity to movement and touch, even individuals with limited movement and with worse scores on functional scales could perform the task and present improvement of performance, so we could not use functional scales scores as exclusion criteria.…”

Faria et al (2008) in a longitudinal study conducted at the Federal University of São Paulo, traced the clinical profile of 20 patients with motor neuron disease. The presentation of the first symptom as muscle weakness was reported by 45% of the sample.…”
