The invention relates to the field of disease tracking and even possible diagnosis. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for assessing muscle disability and preferably spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in a subject, the method comprising the steps of using a mobile device to remove force from an individual finger from the subject. A stress measurement data set determines at least one performance parameter, and compares the determined at least one performance parameter with a reference, thereby assessing the muscle disability and preferably SMA. The invention also relates to a mobile device, which includes a processor, at least one pressure sensor and a database, and software. The software is tangibly embedded in the device and implements the method and use of the invention when running on the device. This device is used to assess muscle disability and preferably SMA. |
