Abstract
Pompe disease usually has muscle weakness due to glycogen accumulation. Heckmatt scale is commonly used to grade the pertinent findings of ultrasound. Nonetheless, it is difficult to detect subtle changes of the muscle. Besides, no ultrasonographic parameter has been proposed to predict the motor functions of Pompe disease. Therefore, we aimed to find out an ultrasonographic parameter that can quantify the muscle involvement and correlate with the motor functions in Pompe disease.
