Clinician reported outcome. A 6-point classification designed originally for DMD. Summarises upper limb function with a low score 1 = normal simultaneous abduction of both arms and a score of 6 = no useful hand function. The modified Brooke reverses the scoring and adds an additional level of scoring. See PUL Entry Item SOP.

The common functional scales to rate the grade of disease severity are the Brooke Scale and the Vignos Scale. Both scales were firstly designed for DMD, and nowadays have been used

Brooke score ranges from 1 to 6, where 1 indicates nor- mal arm and hand function, and 6 indicates that no arm and hand function is left. Table 1 gives a description for each of the scores. The...

2009年6月1日 · Clinical management requires the use of a well-designed scale to measure patients' functional status. This study aimed to investigate the quality of the functional scales used to assess patients with different types of MD. The Brooke scale and the Vignos scale were used to grade arm and leg function, respectively.

Lower limb motor function was evaluated using the Vignos scale and the Gait, Stairs, Gowers' manoeuvre, Chair (GSGC) scale [17], and upper limb motor function was evaluated using the Brooke...

a Twenty-three subjects were assessed using the already established Brooke Upper Extremity Functional Rating Scale and the timed Jebsen Hand Function Test to determine whether the Jebsen test was a more discriminative measure of

Grading for Brooke scale for upper extremities. Grade Functional description; 1: Starting with arms at the sides, the patient can abduct the arms in a full circle until they touch above the head. 2: Can raise arms above head only by flexing the elbow (shortening the circumference of the movement) or using accessory muscles. 3:

The Brooke Upper Extremity Scale is a 6 point scale that evaluates upper extremity function in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. It describes functional grades from being able to fully abduct the arms in a circle above the head to having no useful function of the hands.
