Ultrasound muscle imaging to predict strength in healthy adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to measure muscle quality and see if it can predict how strong your muscles are. If you're generally healthy and live in Spain, researchers want to understand how muscle appearance on ultrasound relates to actual muscle strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18–89 years old and in good overall health
- Have lived in Spain for at least 5 years
- Live independently in your community and be able to complete all study visits
- Speak and understand Spanish well enough to follow instructions
- Have no recent surgeries, injuries, or significant muscle or nerve disorders
- Not be pregnant, recently postpartum (within 3 months), or taking medications that affect muscles

This study measures hand grip and leg muscle strength in healthy adults and people with chronic lung disease in Spain, Portugal, and Italy. The goal is to create standard reference values to help doctors understand if someone's muscle strength is normal for their age and background.
This study compares two imaging methods, MRI and ultrasound, to see how well they measure muscle health. It may help find better ways to monitor muscle conditions without invasive tests.
This study aims to develop a way to measure muscle health in children. It is for generally healthy children and will help create a new test for muscle quality.
This study uses an ultrasound scan to look at muscles and nerves (including the breathing muscle). It may help researchers better understand neuromuscular problems and how well ultrasound can detect them.
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 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.
