RESUMO

The aim was to construction a scale of sitting and standing from chair for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (EAF-1), to test reliability and to correlate it with running time, age and Vignos scale. The construction occurred by means of 30 childrens evaluation with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (aged 5-12 years), totalizing 120 registers of sitting and standing. It was used Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Weighted Kappa Coefficient. The scale comprises three phases for sitting and three for standing, with scores from 0 to 44 and from 0 to 54, respectively. In the repeatability was found ICC 0,91 and Kappa >0,91 for sitting; ICC >= 0,91 and Kappa >0,87 for standing and in the reproducibility ICC >= 0,90 and Kappa >0,88 for sitting; ICC >= 0,89 and Kappa >0,94 for standing; good correlation with time of sitting and standing (r = 0.69 e r = 0.66) and between age and sitting (r = 0.44). Excellent reliability was presented by EAF-1, which permits detailed evaluation function.
