Imaging Assessment of Swallowing and Speech Muscles in Inclusion Body Myositis

This study will evaluate whether neuromuscular ultrasound and MRI can be used as imaging markers of bulbar involvement and swallowing dysfunction in individuals with inclusion body myositis (IBM). Researchers will compare imaging and clinical findings in participants with IBM with those in participants with other myopathies, ALS, PLS, and healthy volunteers. The study is a one-time visit. Study procedures may include neurological assessments, swallowing questionnaires, tongue strength testing, neuromuscular ultrasound, and MRI. The goal is to identify more sensitive and objective ways to assess bulbar dysfunction biomarkers.
