About This Trial
This study is being done to further develop a device, the mScan, to measure muscle health as compared to measurements of muscle health using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). This device is held against the skin and uses Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM). EIM uses a very small, noninvasive (e.g. no needles), brief (about 6 seconds), and painless electrical current to measure the muscle. The inv…
