Quantitative MRI and Clinical Assessment of Muscle Function in Adults With Cerebral Palsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Aim: To relate quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of ankle plantar flexor muscles to clinical functional tests in adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and neurologically intact (NI) adults.Methods: Eleven adults with CP (aged 41 ± 12, GMFCS level I-

Eight-Week Low-Intensity Squat Training at Slow Speed Simultaneously Improves Knee and Hip Flexion and Extension Strength

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Considering that the squat exercise requires flexion and extension of the knee and hip joints, a resistance training program based on squat exercises should efficiently increase the flexion and extension strength of both the knee and hip.

Does Function Determine the Structure? Changes in Flexor Hallucis Longus Muscle and the Associated Performance Related to Dance Modality: A Cross-Sectional Study

Medicina, 2020
Background and Objectives: Flexor hallucis longus pathology is one of the most common conditions of the ankle and foot in dancers, due to the high demand of dance movements performed in an extreme plantar flexion and dorsiflexion range of motion.

The Influence of Sonographer Experience on Skeletal Muscle Image Acquisition and Analysis

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2021
The amount of experience with ultrasonography may influence measurement outcomes while images are acquired or analyzed. The purpose of this study was to identify the interrater reliability of ultrasound image acquisition and image analysis between ...

Why exercise builds muscles: Titin mechanosensing controls skeletal muscle growth under load [PDF]

, 2021
Muscles sense internally generated and externally applied forces, responding to these in a coordinated hierarchical manner at different time scales. The center of the basic unit of the muscle, the sarcomeric M-band, is perfectly placed to sense the different types of load to which the muscle is subjected.

Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the process of obtaining cross-sectional area and echo intensity measurements of muscles from ultrasound images

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2021
Introduction: The use of ultrasound images for analyzing muscle quality and size is continuing to grow in the literature. However, many of these manuscripts fail to properly describe their measurement techniques and steps involved in analyzing ultrasound

Early-Stage Diabetic Neuropathy Reduces Foot Strength and Intrinsic but Not Extrinsic Foot Muscle Size

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2020
Background Tracking progression of diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (DPN) is usually focused on sensory nerves and subjective testing methods. Recent studies have suggested that distal muscle atrophy may precede sensation loss.

Muscle nuclear size in neuromuscular disease. [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1976
Nuclear size has been estimated in muscle biopsy specimens from seven healthy individuals, eight patients with infantile spinal muscular atrophy (types I and II), and eight patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The results indicate a great increase in nuclear size in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but not in spinal muscular atrophy when compared with

Do neurogenic and cancer-induced muscle atrophy follow common or divergent paths? [PDF]

, 2018
Skeletal muscle is a dynamic tissue capable of responding to a large variety of physiological stimuli by adjusting muscle fiber size, metabolism and function.
