ARFI/SWE measured the biceps and deltoid muscle's shear wave velocities (SWVs). Performance of Upper Limb Module (PUL 1.2 module) assessed muscle function in DMD patients. Mann Whitney test compared muscle SWVs between DMD and TDC, stratified by three age groups. We used analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction to compare muscle SWVs between DMD and TDC and correlated muscle SWVs with PUL results in the DMD group. Results showed that the SWVs of biceps differentiated DMD patients from TDC across age groups. Younger DMD patients (3-8 years) exhibited higher SWVs (p = 0.013), but older DMD patients (12-18 years) showed lower SWVS (p = 0.028) than same-aged TDC. DMD patients had decreasing biceps SWVs with age (p < 0.001), with no such age effect in TDC. The SWVs of deltoid and biceps positively correlated with PUL scores (r = 0.527 ∼ 0.897, P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with PUL timed measures (r = -0.425 ∼ -0.542, P < 0.05) in DMD patients. Our findings suggest that ARFI/SWE quantifying the SWVs in upper limb muscle could be a potential biomarker to differentiate DMD from TDC across ages and that DMD patients showed age-related muscle alteration and limb functional decline. |
