Relationship of Skeletal Muscle Thickness, Strength, and Diaphragm Function in Adults With CF

Marmara University31 enrolled

Overview

31 CF patients and 23 healthy sex and age-matched volunteers were enrolled. All subjects underwent pulmonary function tests, 6-minute walking tests. Body Mass Index and Fat Free Mass Index were measured via a body composition analyser. Diaphragm ultrasonography (to measure thickening fraction), quadriceps femoris muscle ultrasonography were performed. A dynamometer was used to measure each subjects handgrip strength.
