Muscle Force Assessment in the Intensive Care Unit and in Primary Myopathies

NCT00735384 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 22

Last updated 2021-11-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary aim of the project is to apply the non-invasive stimulated muscle force assessment system to i) intensive care unit patients and ii) patients with primary myopathy or subclinic myopathy (e.g., Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Myotonia, MH). The investigators will use this new methodology of force assessment to phenotype patients weakness during their illnesses (depict typical force pattern) and monitor recovery periods, or disease progression, respectively. This new system will be evaluated until the year 2018. The investigators will determine variables of isometric skeletal muscle force.

These systems should serve as force monitoring tools and help to guide therapies.
