Muscle quality defined as the ratio of muscle strength to muscle mass disregards underlying
factors which influence muscle strength. The aim of this review was to investigate the …

Muscle echo intensity, as measured by ultrasonography, could be used as a new marker of
functional performance in older populations. This scoping review aimed to present evidence …

We examined the neuromuscular adaptations following 3 and 6 weeks of 80 vs. 30% one
repetition maximum (1RM) resistance training to failure in the leg extensors. Twenty-six men …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess relationships between intramuscular
adipose tissue (IntraMAT) content determined by MRI and intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) and …

Objective To establish muscle-specific cut-off values for ultrasound-based detection of low
muscle mass, and to assess its prevalence in a population of frail older subjects when …

Background Muscle ultrasound (MUS) has so far not been implemented for sarcopenia
assessment in clinical geriatric practice due to allegedly low reproducibility of results in the …

The age-related decrease in human skeletal muscle mass; ie sarcopenia, has received
much attention, but an age-related increase in the ratio of adipose tissue to muscle tissue …

Background. Quantitative diagnostic ultrasound imaging has been proposed as a method of
estimating muscle quality using measures of echogenicity. The Rectangular Marquee Tool …

Abstract Introduction/Aims Attenuation of the ultrasound (US) wave is a serious limitation of
echo intensity (EI) on B‐mode US. The aim of this study was to determine whether the focus …

Recent advances in materials and fabrication techniques provided portable, performant,
sensing optical spectrometers readily operated by user-friendly cabled or wireless systems …
