Author(s): Lisa Wickerson, Dina Brooks and Sunita MathurLisa Wickerson, Dina Brooks and Sunita Mathur
Purpose: To characterize the state of the evidence for peripheral muscle dysfunction in individuals with interstitial lung disease (ILD).
Method: A scoping study was performed by searching multiple electronic databases for published papers and conference abstracts of any study design that included a measure of peripheral muscle dysfunction and/or structural and metabolic characteristics of muscle. All sub-types of ILD were eligible.
Result: Forty-five studies representing 2522 individuals with 34 sub-types of ILD were included in this study. Data were charted using descriptive numerical analysis of study characteristics. Peripheral muscle dysfunction was predominantly reflected by reduced volitional isometric strength (17 studies), whereas the evaluation of muscle endurance was rare (2 studies). Volitional muscle force .. Read More»
