Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoints are muscle atrophy rate, time of minimum, recovery rate and measured or calculated time of muscular recovery. These characteristics are assessed using the following parameters, which are measured in the hospital at two-day intervals (if possible depending on the clinical condition) and later at follow-up appointments in the outpatient clinic up to a maximum of 3 months after injury: 1. muscle thickness 2. muscle strength 3. muscle perfusion (SO2, Hb, blood flow) 4. muscle fibre length 5. muscle fibre angle 6. thickness of subcutaneous tissue The following measuring devices are used for this purpose: 1. a handgrip strength dynanometer 2. the Oxygen to See of LEA Medizintechnik to measure SO2, Hb and blood flow 3. an ultrasound device to measure muscle thickness, muscle fibre length, muscle fibre angle and the thickness of the subcutaneous tissue. | — |
