Study Summary
This is a pilot clinical trial to assess the ability of a new ultrasound-based imaging method, Double-Push Acoustic Radiation Force (DP ARF) ultrasound, to monitor the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The hypothesis being tested is that DP ARF ultrasound delineates changes in muscle composition and function in individual dystrophic muscles, from early through late stages of disease development, that correlate to time to loss of ambulation in patient volunteers.
Primary Outcome
Marginal peak displacement (MPD) is a metric developed to qualitatively describe the degree of nonlinearity in the viscoelastic properties of tissue: MPD = (P2-D)/P1, where P1 and P2 are the first and second peak displacement achieved in tissue by the first and second ARF excitations, respectively, and d is the ARF-induced displacement remaining at the time of the second push.
