BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of a wrist actigraph for estimating muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients.MethodsTwenty-two patients aged 4-19 years wore a wrist actigraph to monitor activities of daily living, and underwent a test of knee extension strength and the 6min walk test. These measures were made at baseline and at 1 year later. The actigraph data were quantified using the zero crossing mode (ZCM), which indicates the frequency of movement, and the proportional integration mode (PIM), which indicates activity level or vigor of motion.ResultsThe ZCM and PIM scores of ambulatory patients were higher than those of non-ambulatory patients (P < 0.001). The correlation coefficient between ZCM score and 6min walk distance, ZCM score and knee extension strength, PIM score and 6 minute walk distance, and PIM score and knee extension strength was -0.44, 0.25, 0.58, and 0.63, respectively. This indicates that the PIM score had a moderate-good association with 6min walk distance and knee extension strength.ConclusionMuscle strength can be estimated using the PIM score calculated from actigraph data. The PIM score is a good tool for the estimation of muscle strength.
