Twitch force in human Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis by Laura Libonati, Chiara Cambieri, Marco Ceccanti, Federica Moret, Matteo Di Giulio, Eleonora Palma, Maurizio Inghilleri, Maurizio Inghilleri

“…CK levels were also elevated in slow progressors.DiscussionDespite similar CMAp values, slow progressors retained greater muscle strength, possibly due to a reduced degeneration of fast-twitch fibers and compensatory axonal sprouting. These adaptations may preserve muscle function and elevate CK levels, suggesting better muscle integrity in slow progressors.ConclusionMuscle function profiles and CK levels are promising indicators of ALS progression. …”
