Traduction française de l'échelle Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease pediatric scale

Abstract

French Translation of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Pediatric Scale. We describe the translation process we used to translate into French the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Pediatric Scale (CMTPedS), the only validated measuring tool evaluating the severity of the disease in children with CMT. The translation process is based on the Food and Drug Administration Guidelines. The French preliminary version of the CMTPedS was tested on 14 children with CMT. It was well tolerated by the children and deemed to be userfriendly by the physicians. The availability of this French tool seems promising for the clinical follow-up of children with CMT and for those enrolled in clinical trials.
