Clinimetric Properties of Muscle Mass and Stiffness Measurements of the Quadriceps in Patients With COPD
Clinimetric Properties Assessment of Quadriceps Muscle Mass and Stiffness Using Perimetry and ShearWave Elastography in Patients With COPD : a Prospective Observational Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
A large amount of patients with COPD suffer from muscle dysfunction characterized by losses of muscle mass and strength. Studies have shown an association between a loss of quadriceps muscle mass and premature death. This study aims to investigate the clinimetric properties of a simple quadriceps perimetry and ShearWave elastography to improve the monitoring of skeletal muscle function in patients with COPD.
