The Tufts Quantitative Neuromuscular Exam (TQNE) is a standardized tool for measuring muscle strength and pulmonary function in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We describe the relationship of TQNE scores to functional disability and health-related quality of life as measured by the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) in 524 ALS patients. There was a significant relationship (p < 0.0001) between TQNE and SIP scores, both in cross section and over time. TQNE scores strongly relate to ALS patients' quality of life and ability to perform activities of daily living.
塔夫茨定量神经肌肉检查(TQNE)是一种用于测量肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)患者肌肉力量和肺功能的标准化工具。我们描述了524例ALS患者中TQNE评分与功能残疾以及通过疾病影响量表(SIP)测量的健康相关生活质量之间的关系。在横断面和随时间变化方面,TQNE与SIP评分之间均存在显著关系(p < 0.0001)。TQNE评分与ALS患者的生活质量和日常生活活动能力密切相关。
