简要总结
A strength measurement device called Accurate Test of Limb Isometric Strength (ATLIS) was developed to precisely and conveniently measure static limb strength in patients with ALS. The investigator will compare ATLIS data with data from the commonly used ALS outcomes measure, the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R), as well as an exploratory measure, electrical impedance myography (EIM), in a prospective, longitudinal study. Both outcomes measures will be performed on 100 subjects collected preferably at bi-monthly clinic visits during the study period.
详细描述
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will enroll and collect data on 100 subjects. Subjects will ideally be tested every 1 to 4 months according to each patient's site visit schedule. Subjects will be tested at each visit using ATLIS, the ALSFRS-R questionnaire and EIM.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Accurate Test of Limb Isometric Strength (ATLIS) between each visit
时间窗: every 1 to 4 months according to each patient's site visit schedule
ATLIS measures isometric strength in 12 muscle groups in the arms and legs. The subject is tested seated in a specially designed chairs with adjustable uprights. The subject's limb is placed in a standard position and maximal force is exerted on the wireless load cell fixed to the upright. Strength data is digitally captured and expressed as a percentage of expected normal.
次要结局
- Change in ALS Functional Rating Scale - Revised (ALSFRS-R) between each visit(every 1 to 4 months according to each patient's site visit schedule)
