Background: Evaluating muscle mass and function among stroke patients is important.
However, evaluating muscle volume and function is not easy due to the disturbances of …

Background: Skeletal muscle mass is an important factor for various diseases' outcomes.
The psoas muscle cross-sectional area on the abdominal computed tomography (CT), gait …

Background Pre-stroke sarcopenia associated with poor functional outcomes. However,
diagnosis of pre-stroke sarcopenia is often difficult in patients with acute stroke. Thus, we …

The assessment of sarcopenia is part of the nutritional assessment index and is essential in
stroke management. This study aimed to identify and validate cutoff values of temporal …

Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) was investigated as a novel surrogate marker on MRI
examinations of the brain, to detect patients who may be at risk for sarcopenia. TMT was …

Objectives Muscle mass at admission is important to survive stroke, and stroke-induced
sarcopenia is a serious problem because of its poor prognosis. Muscle mass measurement …

Objective Ongoing research has evidenced the importance of muscle measurement in
predicting adverse outcomes. Measurement of other muscles is promising in current …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of trunk muscle mass on
functional prognosis, including activities of daily living (ADLs), at hospital discharge in …

Background Many patients with stroke have difficulty performing voluntary muscle
contraction; thus, measurement of patients' muscle power or leg strength is challenging. We …

Background Stroke is steadily increasing in prevalence. Muscle tissue wasting and
functional changes are frequently observed in stroke, but this has not been studied in detail …
