Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Power Dopplerone time exam

The primary objective is to determine whether patients with various types of MPS and at various stages of the disease exhibit abnormalities of the finger, wrist and knee joints as assessed by grey scale and Power Doppler ultrasonography.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ultrasound scanning techniqueone time scan

To determine the optimal ultrasound scanning technique for MPS patients given the potentially advanced joint contractures

Findings of synovitis or tenosynovitisone time scan

To determine whether there are ultrasound findings indicative of synovitis or tenosynovitis

Differences between MPS I and IVone time scan

To determine whether differences exist between MPS I and MPS IV

Differences between ERT and BMTone time scan

To determine whether differences exist between patients with or without Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) or Bone Marrow Transplants

Differences between severe and attenuated phenotypesone time scan

To determine whether differences exist between severe and attenuated phenotypes
