The aim of the study is to compare the effect of Wii fit exercises and Pilates exercises on muscle strength and postural balance, and functional performance in adult patients with lower extremity burn.
During this pilot study, the investigators will examine the effects of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise (WB-EMS Exercise) on neuromuscular junction (NMJ) transmission and fatigability in adults with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG). The investigators will also test whether a relationship exists between NMJ transmission dysfunction and fatigability in gMG, which has long been presumed but never directly assessed. Participants will undergo clinical and electrophysiologic testing before and after the WB-EMS Exercise intervention. The WB-EMS Exercise intervention will be delivered 2 times per week for 4 weeks. The hypotheses are (a) that the WB-EMS exercise will improve fatigability and NMJ transmission, and (b) that NMJ transmission dysfunction is related to fatigability.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and activity of zilucoplan (ZLP) in pediatric study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
Researchers are doing this study to find out if a high fermented food diet is tolerable, and if it will help improve quality of life after surviving a critical illness, including severe COVID-19, by promoting gut health recovery and decreasing gut inflammation.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate long-term therapeutic strategies for myasthenia gravis (MG) and identify potential biomarkers. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether low-dose oral steroids may lead to a reduction in the recurrence rate among patients with MG. 2. To identify potential biomarkers that can predict disease progression and prognosis. This study recruits well-controlled patients with MG. Based on patient preferences and considerations such as coexisting conditions (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, severe osteoporosis, obesity), the participants will be non-randomly divided into two groups: a maintenance steroid therapy group and a withdrawal group (withdraw all immunosuppresants). Subsequently, these groups of patients will undergo long-term follow-up assessments.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to create a network repository of clinical data and biological samples to help researchers learn more about myasthenia gravis.
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neurological disorder where an antibody attack of muscle receptors causes fatigable skeletal muscle weakness. In addition to fatigue, several MG patients experience general fatigue. Small supervised studies during 12 weeks of physical exercise interventions have indicated safety and beneficial neuromuscular outcomes in MG patients. Longer and unsupervised studies are required to obtain guidelines for physical activity in MG patients. Further, the development of smart rings enables remote digital supervision of physical activity, sleep, and biological parameters such as heart frequency, number of steps, and temperature. These parameters could add to the lack of biomarkers in MG. The project design is a randomized controlled trial with a lifestyle intervention to improve fatigue in the autoimmune neuromuscular disease Myasthenia Gravis (MG). The intervention includes digital group counseling regarding physical activity, sleep, general health, and digital follow-up with a "smart ring" (OURA).
This study will use electromyography and dynamometry to evaluate gluteal muscle activation during the Trendelenburg hip abduction test in different hip positions.
The goal of this trial is to learn about how restricted sleep and not bearing weight on the leg affects muscle strength and posture control. Participants will walk exclusively on one leg, sleep at differing intervals, and complete posture tests, muscle strength tests, and muscle imaging. Researchers will compare adequate sleep and restricted sleep to see if muscle strength and posture are affected.
