Muscle strength imbalance in older adults with and without sarcopenia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at muscle strength differences in older adults, both with and without a condition called sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to understand how muscle weakness affects daily life and might help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
- You should be able to walk on your own or with just a little help.
- You need to understand and follow simple instructions.
- Your muscle strength must be measurable (we will check grip, biceps, and thigh muscles).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether doing a short resistance exercise warm-up before a full strength training session can help improve muscle strength and function in older adults who are losing muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to see if this is a safe and practical approach.
This study looks at whether certain medicines might make muscle loss and falls worse in older adults. If you are 65 or older, have been diagnosed with sarcopenia, and have fallen recently, this trial may help find out if your medications could be improved.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) that can happen quickly in older adults during a hospital stay. It aims to understand how common it is and what factors might contribute, which could help improve care for patients.
This study looks at how muscle loss and weakness are connected to strength in your arms, legs, and breathing muscles. It may help find ways to keep older adults stronger and healthier.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This study looks at how diet and gut health relate to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in adults 60 and older. It aims to understand links between inflammation, gut bacteria, and muscle strength so we can find better ways to prevent frailty.
