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

This study checks if muscle thickness in the thigh and a nutrition score can predict recovery in older adults having hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors plan better care after surgery.
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 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 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 study examines how often muscle loss occurs in people with knee arthritis and what factors contribute to it. Understanding this connection may help doctors better care for arthritis patients.
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.
