Changes in skeletal muscle qualities during enzyme replacement therapy in late‐onset type II glycogenosis: temporal and spatial pattern of mass vs. strength response

Abstract excerpt

Muscle quality is defined as muscle strength generated per unit muscle mass. If enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has some effects on type II glycogenosis (GSDII) skeletal muscle pathology, we should be able to measure a change in strength and mass. We conducted a prospective study including 11 patients aged 54.2 ± 11.2 years, referring to a single institution and receiving ERT for ≥2 years. Median Walton score...
