Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived measures of lean mass demonstrate
strong associations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived measures of muscle …

We read with interest the article by Buckinx et al. 1 titled 'Pitfalls in the measurement of
muscle mass: a need for a reference standard', which sought to review the methods to …

This study aimed to determine the specific characterization of regional storage fat in the
upper limb as compared to the lower limb of young healthy adults. The regional storage fat …

Skeletal muscle comprises a significant proportion of whole-body mass, and its maintenance
is critical to the quality of life, particularly with aging. It is therefore important to determine …

Shot putters throw a heavy shot by “pushing”. Pushing involves the coordinated extension of
multiple joints and is a common motor task for both upper and lower limbs. In lower limb …

The present study aimed to evaluate the applicability of using a single slice cross-sectional
area (CSA) of the skeletal muscle for estimating segmental skeletal muscle volume (SMV) …

Background Surgeons usually transfer the contralateral C7 to the median nerve on the
injured side via a nerve graft to recover sensation and movement in a paralyzed hand. The …

Resistance training induces an increase in skeletal muscle size (hypertrophy). This
hypertrophy can occur nonuniformly along the length of a muscle or muscle group. This …
