Özet

Objective. To develop and test a hybrid measure of muscle strength for juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), which is based on the combination of the Manual Muscle Testing in 8 muscles (MMT-8) and the Childhood Myositis Assessment Scale (CHAS) but is more comprehensive than the former and more feasible than the latter.
