We included psychometric studies that investigated the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of instruments assessing activity and participation for muscular dystrophy of any type (Duchenne, Becker, limb\u2010girdle, facioscapulohumeral, congenital, and myotonic) or age. Two independent reviewers selected the studies, extracted data, and evaluated the instruments' quality and level of evidence following the COnsensus\u2010based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist.
