Muscle thickness and sarcopenia in stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how thigh muscle thickness measured by ultrasound relates to muscle weakness and fear of movement in people who have had a stroke. It may help find better ways to assess muscle health and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 40 and 80 years old
- You can walk (with or without help) and have some movement in your leg
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate

This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to understand how muscle wasting affects recovery, which may help improve care for stroke patients.
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in people with knee osteoarthritis and what factors are linked to it. It may help doctors better understand and manage muscle weakness in knee OA patients.
This study uses ultrasound to look at muscle quality and fat in two muscles (one in the thigh, one in the belly) and checks how that relates to physical function in older women. It may help understand how to better support healthy aging.
This trial uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a specific back muscle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to understand changes in this muscle after stroke, which may help improve rehabilitation.
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 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.
