ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular junction autoimmune disease characterised of intermittent muscle weakness that increases with activity and recovers with rest.

OBJECTIVE: Analysing the correlation of fatigue on walking ability in MG patients.

METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling. Participants MG patients took in this trial. Data collection encompasses fatigue and walking ability, with fatigue being assessed using the fatigue severity scale (FSS) and walking ability being assessed using the 10-metre walking test. The 10-metre walking test assessment contains three components: comfortable walking speed (CWS), maximum walking speed (MWS), and natural cadence. The statistical analysis used in this study includes the Pearson correlation and Spearman rank tests with P
