Conditions

Trial Snapshot

No summary available.

•Inclusion criteria for participants taking part in this study includes:
•1.Being an adult (male or female) over the age of 18 years.
•2.Being in good health with no known history of nervous system, skeletal or muscular disease or injury.
•3.Having no known medical conditions or implantation that would preclude them from undergoing MRI scanning.

•Exclusion criteria for those who are not eligible to participate in the study includes:
•1.People under the age of 18 years (tissue mechanical properties change throughout development)
•2.Women who are pregnant (there are risks to the unborn foetus of undergoing MRI while pregnant).
•3.People with medical conditions, devices or implantation that cannot be safely imaged using MRI (MRI is a critical tool in the study).
•4.A history of MRI related claustrophobia (there is no direct benefit to the participant for participating in the study that would warrant their partaking).
•5.People weighing over 140 kg (to comply with the safe working limit of the MR scanner).
•6.If participating in the EMG study, allergic reactions to skin preparation solutions, conductive gels/creams or medical tape; or an extreme aversion to needles such as a history of fainting as a result of the insertion of needles.
•7. People with a history of skin disease or injury to the site where the MR elastography transducer will be positioned (as the vibration applied through this site may aggravate this condition).
