Both diseases appear clinically with shrinkage and muscle weakness of the muscles around the shoulder girdle and pelvis, while muscle hypertrophy of the calves and tongue is seen.\n\nThe quality of the enlarged calves has to the investigators knowledge not previously been described, and their hypothesis is that the normal correlation between muscle strength and muscle cross-section is absent in the calf muscles. Thus the investigators hypothesis suggests that there is no actual hypertrophy of the calf muscles, but rather a pseudohypertrofy with reduced force per cross-sectional area. With a picture of increased fat infiltration and disorganized muscle fibers.\n\nThe enlarged calves' muscle quality will be assessed primarily on the basis of the muscle structure on MRI (assessed on both T1 imaging, 3-point Dixon scans, and diffusion tension imaging), and based on a calculation of muscle strength per cross-sectional area. Isokinetic muscle dynamometry (Biodex-4) will be used to measure muscle strength. The findings will be compared with results from non-affected controls.\n\nAdditionally the investigators want to describe the tongue muscle appearance on T1-weighted MRI."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Danish patients genetically verified with either becker muscular dystrophy or limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Danish patients genetically verified with either becker muscular dystrophy or limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I\n* calves enlargement\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients who have metal implants in the body, for instance surgical clips, cochlear implants, pacemaker etc.\n* pregnant or breast-feeding patients\n* patients who are claustrophobic\n* atrophic calves'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02165358', 'briefTitle': 'Muscle MRI in Becker Muscular Dystrophy and in Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Rigshospitalet, Denmark'}, 'officialTitle': 'Muscle MRI Study of Patients With Becker Muscular Dystrophy and Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'H-2-2014-035 (MRI BMD/LGMD2I)'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Patients', 'description': 'Patients verified with either becker muscular dystrophy or limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I'}, {'label': 'Controls', 'description': 'Healthy controls matched for age and gender.'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '2100', 'city': 'Copenhagen', 'country': 'Denmark', 'facility': 'Neuromuscular Research Unit, Rigshospitalet', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 55.67594, 'lon': 12.56553}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Nicoline Løkken, Bsc', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Neuromuscular Research Unit, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Rigshospitalet, Denmark', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Bsc', 'investigatorFullName': 'Nicoline Løkken', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Rigshospitalet, Denmark'}}}}
