A 9-year follow-up study of the natural progression of upper limb performance in myotonic dystrophy type 1: A similar decline for phenotypes but not for gender

Highlights • The decline over time for upper limb performance was similar for both phenotypes. • The decline over time for upper limb performance differed according to gender. • Using pinch gauge to assess long-term change is preferable.
