Valid and reliable measurements of muscle impairment are needed to assess therapeutic
efficacy in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis. Several muscle scoring systems
have been proposed for assessing muscle strength in such patients. The aim of the present
study is to assess the validity and interobserver agreement of these muscle scores.
