Using ultrasound to predict muscle strength in healthy adults
This study uses sound waves (ultrasound) to look at your thigh and hand muscles. The goal is to see if ultrasound pictures can predict how strong these muscles are. It will help doctors measure muscle health without difficult tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy adult between 18 and 89 years old.
- You have lived in Spain for at least 5 years.
- You live independently and can follow simple instructions in Spanish.
- You do not have any muscle, nerve, or bone conditions that affect strength or movement.
- You are not pregnant and not within 3 months after giving birth.
- You do not have severe pain or fatigue that would make testing hard.

This study measures muscle strength in your legs and hands to create reference charts for people in Southern Europe. It helps doctors understand normal strength ranges and may support future health care decisions.
This study uses ultrasound scans to measure muscle mass in people with metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors understand how these conditions affect muscles and could lead to better care.
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 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 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 looks at whether using ultrasound at the doctor's office helps family doctors make better decisions about muscle and joint problems. If you have pain, swelling, or stiffness, the results may show if ultrasound adds useful information for your care.
