Abstract

The muscle volume analyzer (MVA) can predict limb muscle weight based on bioelectric impedance analysis, whereas the conventional handheld dynamometer (HHD) measures muscle strength. In this study, a 26-year-old female on invasive ventilation due to late-onset Pompe disease was treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for 12 months. MVA measurements demonstrated time-dependent improvement from the baseline compared to HHD measurements, showing remarkably fluctuating muscle strength. Thus, the MVA can be used as an alternative, particularly for patients suffering from severe limb muscle weakness.
