Clinical trials: Muscle Wasting
Sarcopenia
Assessment of in Vivo Skeletal Muscle Viscoelasticity (ARFI Imaging) With Aging and Cancer
Sarcopenia is known to be associated with loss in muscle mass that results from a reduced number of muscle fibres, an atrophy of remaining muscle fibres, and an increased infiltration of non-contractile tissue (collagen, fat).
