Population

81 well-defined Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) patients

Outcome

Disease state and progression measured by manual muscle testing (MMT), maximum voluntary isometric contraction testing (MVICT), and functional testingsurrogate

This study establishes reliable measures of disease progression for FSHD clinical trials and provides sample size guidelines for future studies.
