Measure
All Participants
In this single-arm trial, patients who were started on high dose corticosteroids (methylprednisolone or equivalent, 2mg/kg/day) for suspected Acute Graft Versus Host Disease were enrolled on the trial. In order monitor for muscle weakness, serial physical function measures were obtained (baseline, Day 14 after enrollment, Day 28, and Day 56). All enrolled patients were also instructed on a home-based exercise program.

The modified Adult Myopathy Assessment Tool assigns a numerical score to a series of physical tasks (arm raise \[0 to 3\], sustained arm raise \[0 to 4\], single sit-to-stand \[0 to 3\], sustained hip flexion \[0 to 4\], and sustained knee extension \[0 to 4\]). The total score of all test components (0 to 18) is reported, with 18 as the highest score for muscle function and endurance.
