Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the information content and reliability
of the proposed modified motor activity scale in patients with various acquired diseases of
the peripheral nervous system.
The sample included 70 children from 3 to 17 years old with the consequences of damage
to the peripheral nervous system - natal plexopathy, polyneuropathy and mononeuropathy.
An analysis of clinical and neurophysiological data was carried out, the degree of peripheral
paresis was assessed using the MRC scale and a modified scale for assessing the degree of
peripheral paresis, a correlation analysis of clinical and electroneuromyography data, data
from the MRC scale and a modified scale was carried out. The reliability, specificity and
sensitivity of the modified scale was assessed, the use of which contributes to a more
accurate assessment of the degree of peripheral paresis, which in the future will allow the
development of an individual rehabilitation program.
