Estimation of muscle atrophy based on muscle thickness in knee surgery patients

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2013
SummaryThe purpose of this study was to establish an accurate estimation of muscle atrophy in the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle group. Eighteen individuals who underwent meniscectomy participated in the study (nine men and nine women, mean age 44·4 years).

Structure of the Myosin Thick Filaments in Muscle

Striated muscle is composed of overlapping arrays of thick myosin filaments and thin actin filaments. The thick filaments are composed of myosin molecules, which are hexamers of two heavy chains and two pairs of light chains. The heavy chain has an N-terminal head domain and a C-terminal helical rod domain.

The Thick Filament of Vertebrate Striated Muscle

2002
Contraction in mammalian skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle occurs through a sliding filament mechanism involving two sets of interdigitating filaments: the myosin containing thick filaments and the actin-containing thin filaments (Huxley and Hanson, 1954; Huxley and Niedergerke, 1954; Davies, 1963; Squire, 1981). Interaction between these filaments to

Absolute and relative changes in muscle thickness and muscle cross‐sectional area

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging
Abstract Introduction Changes in muscle size are often measured as a change in muscle thickness (MT) or as a change in muscle cross‐sectional area (CSA). Differences in how muscles are measured is an important consideration as different absolute and relative changes in muscle size may carry ...
