Abstract

Dysferlinopathy, a rare type of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMDR2) caused by mutations in the DYSF gene, is characterised by a broad spectrum of muscle weakness and variable rates of disease progression. Observations have revealed that patients with LGMDR2 display a distinct gait pattern, however this has not yet been objectively quantified. Thus, clinically meaningful and validated outcomes are essential to accurately evaluate disease progression. The aim was to objectively quantify temporal-spatial characteristics of gait in patients with LGMDR2 and evaluate differences in gait when walking barefoot, in socks and shod.
