Quantitation of McArdle's Sign and Evaluation of Specificity for Multiple Sclerosis
Studieöversikt

Betingelser
Detaljerad beskrivning
Finger strength will be measure using a torque-measuring device designed to quantitate finger extension strength. The device was designed for point of treatment use, patient safety and portability. Strength will be measured in 5 paired trials, first with neck extended and then with neck flexed. Two protocols will be evaluated, one testing isometric strength against a fixed resistance and the second testing strength against dynamic resistance. McArdle's sign is the difference between strength with neck extension and strength with neck flexion.
The data will be digitally registered and dynamic neck position will be recorded electronically in real time. Graphs of dynamic changes in torque versus neck position will be generated and superimposed. Strength will be quantitated using Matlab software.
Consecutive patients with myelopathy of any cause with detectable finger extensor weakness will be studied, either due to MS or due to other cause of myelopathy (other inflammatory, vascular, compressive, neoplastic and other). Additionally, normal controls will be studied as will patients with finger extension weakness due to peripheral nerve lesions.

Kohorter och interventioner
Grupp / Kohort |
|---|
|
Myelopathy of any cause
Male or female 18 years or older with myelopathy and detectable finger extension weakness due to 1) prototypic multiple sclerosis (N=50) 2) other etiologies of myelopathy (N=50), including other inflammatory conditions (e.g.
idiopathic transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, sarcoidosis) or other etiologies (compression, vascular disorders, degenerative disorders, neoplasms).
|
|
Peripheral neuropathy
Male or female 18 years or older with C7 radiculopathy, radial neuropathy, plexopathy, peripheral neuropathy, who have detectable finger extension weakness.
|
|
Healthy Controls
Male and female 18 year or older with no finger extension weakness and no known neurological conditions.

Åtgärdsbeskrivning |
Tidsram |
|---|---|---|
|
Difference in quantitative measure of strength between extended positions of the neck and fully flexed position of the neck (McArdle's sign)
Tidsram: through study completion, an average of 1 year
|
Comparison of means and medians of the difference in strength in the fully extended and fully flexed positions ("McArdle's sign") measured using a torque measurement device between multiple sclerosis versus other myelopathy and between multiple sclerosis and normal controls; measurements are done in 5 successive trials of extension and flexion and the mean percentage difference between extension and flexion of the last 4 trials is averaged to calculated the McArdle's sign; the goal is to determine whether there is a specific level of McArdle sign that is diagnostic for MS using receiver operator curve method.
