During progressive myopathy, the space of atrophic muscle tissue is gradually filled by fatty tissue. The proportion of these two tissue types relative to body mass provides an indication of the extent of muscle tissue destruction, ie, the progression and severity of the disease. In this study we use Pompe disease as an example to report the new possibility of using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) to assess the relative proportion of fatty and muscle tissue in diseases associated with muscle atrophy, thus enabling the assessment of disease …
