简要总结
Investigators aimed to investigate whether training can increase fitness levels in patients with myotonia, and thereby reduce the symptom of myotonia.
详细描述
Investigators aimed to investigate whether a 10-week bicycle exercise program can increase fitness levels in patients with myotonia, and thereby reduce the symptom of myotonia in everyday life. The effect on myotonia is assessed by a standardized myotonia scale with six statements concerning self-rated myotonia, and a number of performance tests that objectively describes the degree of myotonia.
The effect of the training program is assessed by an incremental test, measuring maximal oxygen uptake, maximal heart rate and maximal workload. The muscle enzyme creatine kinase (CK) is measured in plasma to follow muscle injury and safety during the training.

研究组 & 干预措施
Training
Participants exercise 3 times a week, 30 minute, on an ergometer bike.
干预措施: Training (Other)
Control
Participants is tested with the 4 objective myotonia test and measurements of self-assessed myotonia by the Myotonia Behavior Scale is collected.
结局指标
主要结局
Changes in myotonia
时间窗: Week 0 and week 10
Changes in myotonia is assessed before and after 10 weeks of exercise training. Myotonia is measured as self-assessment of myotonia using the Myotonia Behavior Scale every day in a week before training start and every day in a week before training finish. Furthermore, myotonia is measured as changes in time climbing a 14 steps stair before and after the 10 weeks training period.
次要结局
- Changes in fitness(baseline and after week 10)
- Changes in creatine Kinase(baseline, week 2, week 4, week 7 and week 10)
- Changes in other myotonia(baseline and after week 10)
