The Kinect-based reachable workspace relative surface area (RSA) is compared with the Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) assessment in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). 29 individuals with DMD (ages: 7–23, Brooke: 1–5) underwent both Kinect-based reachable workspace RSA and PUL assessments. RSAs were also collected from 24 age-matched controls. Total and quadrant RSAs were compared with the PUL total, shoulder-, middle-, and distal-dimension scores. The total reachable workspace RSA correlated well with the total PUL score (Spearman ρ=−0.602, P<0.001), and with each of the PUL dimensional scores: shoulder (ρ=−0.624, P<0.001), middle (ρ=−0.564, P=0.001), and distal (ρ=−0.630, P<0.001). With quadrant RSA, reachability in a particular quadrant was closely associated with respective PUL dimensional-level function (lateral-upper quadrant for shoulder-, lateral-upper/lower quadrants for middle-, and lateral-lower quadrant for distal-level function). This study demonstrates concurrent validity of the reachable workspace outcome measure (RSA) with the DMD-specific upper extremity outcome measure (PUL).
