NCT04275401

Brief Summary

The test subjects were selected from patients with clinical manifestations in muscle tone and healthy volunteers. Elbow flexor is the main target muscle. Fifty patients and 50 healthy subjects were given three assessment methods to measure muscle tension: modified Ashworth rating scale, elastic ultrasound technology and surface electromyography, and the data obtained by these three methods will be statistically analyzed and discussed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Modified Ashworth Scale

    Modified Ashworth Scale of the target muscles

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • shear wave elastography

    use shear wave elastography to evaluate Young's modules of target muscles at each angle of the joint during the passive movement

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • surface electromyography

    use surface electromyography to evaluate average EMG, integrated electromyogram and root mean square of the target muscles

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (2)

patients

patients with clinical presentions of change in muscle tone

Study Population

This study is expected to recruit 50 patients with clinical changes in flexion of the elbow flexor and 50 healthy subjects to participate in the study.

You may qualify if:

  • There are clinical manifestations of changes in muscle tension of the elbow flexor group;
  • Subject's diagnosis is clear;
  • The degree of joint mobility meets the method of muscle tension assessment.

You may not qualify if:

  • Has serious diseases such as heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc., cardiac function grade is greater than Grade I (NYHA), has symptoms and signs or examination results such as respiratory failure;
  • History of muscle disorders;
  • Recent (within 6 months) history of external injury, fracture or surgery of the limb;
  • Are using drugs that affect muscle tone;
  • Severe osteoporosis;
  • Acute phase of inflammation
  • Acute limb thrombosis of the subject;
  • Pregnancy.
