What is it about?

We used an non-invasive tests to measure mitochondria in the leg muscles of people with MS. The measurements uses near infrared light.

Perspectives

My research is centered around developing new methods to evaluate skeletal muscle. The key to these methods is that the methods need to work with patient populations. This paper is the start of my research with people with MS, and I am excited to continue and expand on these measurements. In particular I am interested in evaluating training programs, including electrical stimulation based training for people with MS who can walk or perform traditional exercise programs.
