DESIGN: A survey (N = 170) included measures of severity (0-10 scales) and course of these symptoms as well as measures of social integration, home competency, mental health, and productive activity. Descriptive and regression analyses examined the associations between symptoms and functioning. RESULTS: Fatigue (91%), imbalance (82%), and pain (77%) were the most commonly reported. The most severe symptom was fatigue (mean &amp;plusmn; SD severity, 5.14 &amp;plusmn; 2.81), followed by imbalance (4.95 &amp;plusmn; 3.25). Symptoms were most likely to stay the same or worsen since onset. Controlling for potential medical and demographic confounds, symptoms were associated with 17% of the mental health variance, 10% of home competency, 10% of social integration, 16% of productive activity for myotonic dystrophy type 1, and 12% of productive activity for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. CONCLUSIONS: Pain, fatigue, and imbalance are common in persons with muscular dystrophy. Interventions may be useful to mitigate their impact on functioning. Further research should examine these relationships to guide clinical practices.&lt;/p&gt;

DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Community-based survey. PARTICIPANTS: Convenience sample of 446 individuals with PPS. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Physical functioning (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Functioning item bank items), psychological functioning (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), pain intensity (0-10 numerical rating scale [NRS]), and fatigue (0-10 NRS). RESULTS: Pain and fatigue make independent contributions to the prediction of physical and psychological functioning. Depression was more severe in the middle-aged (&amp;le;64y) group than in the young-old (65-74y) or middle-old to oldest (&amp;ge;75y) groups, although the associations between pain and fatigue and both physical and psychological functioning are similar across all age cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Complaints of pain or fatigue in patients with PPS who are older or elderly should not be attributed &amp;quot;merely&amp;quot; to the process of aging. The findings also support the need for clinical trials to develop and evaluate interventions that may help patients with PPS function better by treating pain and fatigue, as well as the negative effects that these symptoms can have on functioning.&lt;/p&gt;
