Males with X-linked myotubular myopathy
History and physical, Tidal breathing, Maximal respiratory pressures, Peak cough flow, Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale, Review of ventilation requirements
|
Other: History and physical
Subjects will undergo a physical exam and medical history review, including review of genetic test results. Other: Tidal breathing Subjects' breathing patterns will be evaluated at rest and at reduced/eliminated ventilator support. Other: Maximal respiratory pressures Subjects' strongest inspiratory and expiratory pressures will be measured.
Other Name: MIP, MEP Other: Peak cough flow Subjects' strongest coughs will be measured. Other: Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Assesses the functional capabilities of children with disabilities.
Other Name: PEDI Other: PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale Assesses general fatigue, sleep/rest fatigue, and cognitive fatigue. Other: Review of ventilation requirements Subjects's use of mechanical ventilation reviewed by the study team. |
- Change in baseline visit off-ventilator tolerance at 6 month visit and 12 month visit. [ Time Frame: Change in baseline visit, at 6 month visit and 12 month visit ]
- Change in baseline visit maximal respiratory pressures at 6 month visit, and 12 month visit. [ Time Frame: Change in baseline visit, at 6 month visit and 12 month visit ]Subject's maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures.
- Change in baseline peak cough flow at 6 month visit and 12 month visit. [ Time Frame: Change in baseline visit, at 6 month visit and 12 month visit ]Subjects will be assessed on the ability to generate a cough and the strength of that cough.
- Change in baseline tidal breathing at 6 month visit and 12 month visit. [ Time Frame: Change in baseline visit, at 6 month visit and 12 month visit ]Subject's resting breathing pattern will be assessed.
