Clinical trials: Disuse Atrophy, open to volunteers
Muscle Atrophy, Disuse Atrophy
Effect of Knee Position on Muscle Loss During Leg Immobilization
This study looks at what happens to leg muscles when the knee is kept straight or bent during five days of wearing a brace. We want to find out if keeping the knee bent (so the thigh muscle is stretched) helps prevent muscle loss…

Mitochondrial Energetics, Dietary Nitrate
Effect of Dietary Nitrate on Immobilization-induced Changes in Skeletal Muscle in Young Healthy Men
Diminished use of skeletal muscle, such as occurs with many chronic diseases (e.g., heart failure or cancer cachexia), denervation, bedrest, immobilization (e.g., limb casting or bracing), etc., is a common clinical condition…

Muscle Disuse, Muscle Disuse Atrophy
Muscle Response to Different Amounts of Dietary Protein During Leg Immobilization
Individuals who sustain musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) can experience a rapid loss of muscle mass due to declines in muscle loading and activation that occur post-injury (i.e., disuse atrophy).

- Testing
- 20 grams protein, 40 grams protein
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 28 people, healthy volunteers welcome
