Pompe Disease QMUS and EIM

September 24, 2020 updated by: Duke University

Electrical Impedance Myography and Muscle Ultrasound: Longitudinal Measures in Pompe Disease

Study Objectives:

  1. Determine the correlation between quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS), electrical impedance myography (EIM) and currently accepted measures of physical function.
  2. Determine the reliability of EIM measures performed in the home through use of a hand held device.
  3. Determine if QMUS and EIM can detect pre-clinical changes in Pompe disease.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: QMUS
All patients will undergo serial quantitative muscle ultrasound.
Ultrasound images of limb muscles will be collected.
Other: EIM
All patients will undergo serial electrical impedance myography measures.
A painless current passes through the skin and surface electrodes are used to record the impedance through muscle.
