Tape measure & ultrasound: new hope for tracking COPD muscle loss?

NCT ID NCT06994689

Summary

This study aims to see if two simple tools—a tape measure around the thigh and a special type of ultrasound—can reliably track muscle health in people with COPD. Researchers will follow 30 adults with COPD who are starting a pulmonary rehabilitation program. The goal is to find better, easier ways to monitor muscle changes, which are linked to health outcomes in COPD.
