Linguistic, reliable, and valid secondary efficacy measures are important in clinical settings and studies. The aim of the study is to report test–retest reliability and construct validity of Turkish version of Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living Scale (MG-ADL-T) in Myasthenia Gravis (MG) patients. Fifty-two ocular and generalized individuals with MG, applying to rehabilitation center, were included in the study. MG-ADL-T, MG quality-of-life questionnaire (MG-QoL), MG composite (MGC), quantitative MG score (QMGS), and pulmonary function test were administered. Reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha. Spearman correlation test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were performed for construct validity. MG-ADL-T had fair internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .67), excellent test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.96) and moderate construct validity (MG-QoL, r = 0.59; QMGS, r = .58; MGC, r = .68). MG-ADL, a unique scale that evaluates activities of daily living (ADL), has good test–retest reliability and construct validity in Turkish MG patients.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which muscle weakness and fatigability of the skeletal muscle are as a result of an antibody at the neuromuscular junction against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) affecting ladies and older men. A thymoma occurs in approximately 15 per cent of adult diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis (MG). Thymectomy is used as a surgical approach which helps to reduce the symptoms. Structured comprehensive physiotherapy rehabilitation post-surgery helps to achieve a successful functional recovery. A 61 year old male patient was admitted with complain of lump in neck region, generalised weakness and early fatigability while doing Activities of daily living since 2 months. Investigations were done for the same which revealed thymoma and surgical intervention i.e. thymectomy was performed. Patient was referred to post opt rehabilitation with complains of incisional pain, cough with expectoration, early fatigue performing basic Activities of daily living and reduced strength. Following the surgery patient underwent physiotherapy which comprised of exercises, breathing retraining and early mobilization. The case report concludes that early excision of thymoma with prompt tailor made supervised exercise program helps in early recovery and achievement of functional goal.
