Calf Muscle Strength in Mitochondrial Diseases

NCT02678637 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 37

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Mitochondrial disorders are a group of inherited disorders causing malfunctional mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in every cell of the body, and the disorders therefore give symptoms from every tissue, especially those with high energy needs as the brain, heart and muscles. The disorders are highly disabling.

The aim of the study is to investigate the relation between muscle strength and contractile cross sectional area (CCSA) in the leg of patients affected by mitochondrial diseases. The hypothesis is that there can be a disrupted relationship between strength and CCSA.
