Ultrasound for fat buildup in muscles of older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to measure fat inside muscles of hospitalized older adults. It aims to see if this measurement is helpful for assessing health and recovery during rehabilitation.

This study uses an ultrasound (a painless scan) to check for sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss. It may be a good fit if you're over 50 and have noticed trouble with walking, climbing, or recent falls or weight loss.
This study uses ultrasound to measure muscle quality and fat in the thigh and belly muscles of older women. The goal is to understand how these measurements relate to physical function.
This trial uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a neck muscle to see how it relates to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people in intensive care. It may help researchers find simple ways to spot and track muscle decline during an ICU stay.
This study looks for the best ways to detect sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle strength and mass, in older people in a hospital or care setting. It may help doctors spot muscle problems earlier so they can plan better care.
This study uses ultrasound and body-composition imaging to measure muscle health in people receiving kidney transplants. The goal is to better understand and prevent muscle loss, a common problem after transplant.
This study uses ultrasound to measure muscle mass in people with cirrhosis. It aims to understand muscle changes and their link to health outcomes.
