Study Summary

The goal of this study is to find out if the use of ultrasound pictures of bones can spot changes in the growth areas of children with rickets, a condition that affects how bones harden. Researchers want to see if these ultrasound pictures can help tell the difference between children who have rickets and those who don't.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Relationship of quantitative vibro-acoustic ultrasound and rickets severity score
Secondary outcome measures
Case-control comparison of quantitative vibro-acoustic ultrasound measurements between children with rickets and control subjects
Longitudinal changes in vibro-acoustic ultrasound measurements with treatment of rickets
Relationship of ultrasound images with radiographic evidence of rickets

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Healthy Children Control GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Healthy children under 10 years of age not diagnosed with rickets, but match the age, gender, and weight of the children with rickets, will undergo ultrasound imaging and quantitative vibro-acoustic assessment.
Group II: Children with Active Rickets GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children under 10 years of age with a diagnosis of active rickets on radiographs of the wrists and knees will undergo ultrasound imaging and quantitative vibro-acoustic assessment.
