Study Summary

This trial will explore if imaging can predict healing of lower body injuries and how it affects function. It will also develop a deep learning AI system to measure imaging.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-89 with suspected musculoskeletal injuries of the lower extremity, like hamstring or ankle soft tissue injuries. Participants must be able to consent. It's not for those who've had a fasciotomy on the same limb, have hemodialysis grafts in that extremity, or wounds preventing ultrasound imaging.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how shear wave elastography (SWE) and microvascular flow imaging (MFI) measurements change from injury through recovery in lower extremity injuries. It aims to correlate these changes with functional impairment and develop an AI system for automated measurement.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since SWE and MFI are diagnostic tools involving ultrasound imaging, they're generally safe. However, there might be minimal risks associated with prolonged exposure or discomfort during the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this trial include individuals who are of legal age?

"According to the inclusion criteria, candidates for this medical trial must be between 18 and 89 years old. There are 144 studies specifically targeting people younger than 18 while 636 clinical trials are operating with a primary focus on those over 65."

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies in this clinical investigation?

"This is correct. Per the information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial, which was first uploaded on October 1st 2023, is currently recruiting patients with 80 needing to be sourced from a single location."

Answered by AI

Do I fulfill all the criteria to join this research endeavor?

"Eligibility criteria dictate that candidates must have a lower limb injury and be between 18 to 89 years old in order to participate. The team at Power is currently recruiting approximately 80 volunteers for this experiment."

Answered by AI

What is the total number of participants in this research endeavor?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov states that the clinical trial, which launched on October 1st 2023, is currently searching for participants to join their team of 80 at a single location."
