Abstract
Scores and scales used in pediatric motor development for neuromuscular disorders have evolved greatly since the beginning of their development. In this review we provide a brief history of scales used in pediatric patients with neuromuscular disorders and an update regarding the advancement of the scales commonly used in patients with spinal muscular atrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We focus on the collaborative effort that has led to the development of outcomes and speak to the possible future of Clinical Outcome Assessments.
