What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
