The Effect of Protein Supplementation Doing Regular Exercise in Patients With Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy - a Blinded RCT Study
Abstract
The hypotheses is that regular post exercise supplementation increase fitness and daily activity level in patients with Fascioscapulohumeral (FSH) muscular dystrophy.
All patients are tested before and after 12 weeks of cycle-ergometer exercise. Maximal oxygen consumption and 6MWT is used as primarily effect goals. Secondary effect goals are risk of falls and daily activity level.
Conditions: Facioscapulohumeral Muscle Dystrophy.
Primary outcome: Maximal oxygen consumption test; 6MWT.
Enrollment: 42 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 42 participants or records.
