Summary

The aim of our study was to assess the performance of compression-strain US elastography in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies over time and to study these findings with clinical and functional parameters as well as biochemical and electromyographic tests.

Detailed description

This study will be carried out on four groups: Group (I): twenty children diagnosed to have idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIM) * Group (II): twenty adults diagnosed to have IIM * Group (III):20 healthy children matching age and sex as first control group to children with IIM . * Group (VI):20 healthy adults matching age and sex as second control group to adults with IIM. All patients will be evaluated at baseline at \& 4-months follow up using Semi-Quantitative strain elastography

Conditions

• Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	strain elastography	strain elastography as apart of muscle ultrasound examination of the biceps brachii and rectus femoris muscles will be performed to the patients and control groups at baseline evaluation and after 4 months follow up in the patients groups only.
