No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of our study is to Assess skeletal muscle structural status in children with inflammatory myositis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy using musculoskeletal ultrasound and to perform a longitudinal follow up of these changes over 2 years and to assess the relation between these findings with clinical parameters, functional scales, biochemical and electromyographic tests.

Conditions

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Quantitative muscle ultrasound measurements

Quantitative ultrasound measurements will be performed to biceps, forearm flexors, quadriceps and tibialis anterior according to a standard protocol; for each muscle three consecutive measurements will be made to minimize variation in echo intensity during analysis .The captured images will be analyzed offline for echo intensity by means of computer-assisted grayscale histogram analysis.
