N2  - Purpose: The study that was aimed to compare 4 different upper extremity functional capacity evaluation methods in neuromuscular patients. Material and Methods: Sixty subjects with muscle weakness due to muscular dystrophy, inflammatory myopathy and other myopathies were included in the study. The patients were evaluated with dynamometric muscle strength, grip strength, functional assessment (FA), Minnesota hand dexterity (MHDT) test, functional independence measurement (FIM), disability of arm shoulder and hand questionnaire (DASH), at the beginning of the study and 15 days afterwards. Results: The mean age of the patients included to the study was 32.25±12.36 year. According to the evaluations results it was thought that FE, MHDT, FIM and DASH could be used as a valid and reliable method in neuromuscular diseases (p<0.05). conclusion: In conclusion the results of our study showed that complete and detailed evaluation in neuromuscular patients provide to determine the progress of the illness to select the proper treatment program to show effectiveness of the treatment method to predict the possible complication risk
