Muscle ultrasound is an emerging tool for diagnosing sarcopenia. This review aims to
summarize the current knowledge on the diagnostic test accuracy of ultrasound for the …

The progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and concomitant reduction in contractile
strength plays a central role in frailty syndrome. Age-related neuronal impairments are …

Background Ageing is accompanied by a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and
strength, potentially determining the insurgence of sarcopenia. Evidence suggests that …

Purpose: Skeletal muscle dysfunction is common in patients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Abnormal muscle …

Backgroud Sarcopenia is a common skeletal muscle syndrome that is common in older
adults but can be mitigated by adequate and regular physical activity. The development and …

Objectives We assessed muscle mass and function using ultrasound (US) and shear wave
elastography (SWE) for sarcopenia in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods There …

People suffering from fatigue syndromes spend less time exercising each day, thus
aggravating their motor difficulties. Indeed, muscles and mobility deteriorate with age, while …

Background Ultrasonographic quantitation of quadriceps muscle mass is increasingly used
for assessment of sarcopenia, but its relationship with frailty in haemodialysis recipients is …

High end ultrasonography devices lack in portability and are expensive. We investigated the
agreement and reliability of a handheld and portable ultrasound system for human lower …

Background: Sarcopenia poses a risk factor for falls, disability, mortality, and unfavorable
postoperative outcomes. Recently, the Ultrasound Sarcopenia Index (USI) has been …
