结局指标
主要结局
The pressure drop
时间窗: The pressure drop will be assessed for each study participant at visit 1 and subsequently at visit 2 (3 months later). The measurements as such, should take about 30 minutes for each participant
The pressure drop (PD) is defined as the pressure difference between a reference ovoid-shaped mouthpiece and variously-sized circular mouthpieces, divided by the reference pressure. It is a relative value that is expected to reflect the magnitude of orofacial muscle dysfunction in FSHD affected individuals.
