The Impact of Slice Interval and Equation on the Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Image Estimation of Quadriceps Muscle Volume in End Stage Liver Disease

Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2022
IntroductionEnd stage liver disease (ESLD) is associated with loss of muscle mass and function, known as sarcopenia, which can increase the risk of complications of ESLD, hospitalization and mortality. Therefore, the accurate assessment of muscle mass is

Muscle Characteristics in Pediatric Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia vs. Bilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy: An Exploratory Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a neurological, genetic disorder that predominantly presents with lower limb spasticity and muscle weakness. Pediatric pure HSP types with infancy or childhood symptom onset resemble in clinical presentation to ...

The Time-Course of Changes in Muscle Mass, Architecture and Power During 6 Weeks of Plyometric Training

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
PurposeTo investigate the time-course of changes in knee-extensors muscle mass, architecture and function in response to plyometric training (PLT) performed on a novel training device, the Tramp-Trainer. This machine consists in a trampoline connected to

Sensitivity of musculoskeletal models to variation in muscle architecture parameters

Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2022
Musculoskeletal models, like all theoretical models of physical processes, depend on the assumptions needed to construct the model. For musculoskeletal models, these assumptions include, among other things, the kinematic data, the kinetic data and the ...

The Contribution of Decreased Muscle Size to Muscle Weakness in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Muscle weakness is a common clinical symptom in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). It is caused by impaired neural ability and altered intrinsic capacity of the muscles. To define the contribution of decreased muscle size to muscle weakness, two

The Non-Affected Muscle Volume Compensates for the Partial Loss of Strength after Injection of Botulinum Toxin A

Toxins, 2023
Local botulinum toxin (BTX-A, Botox®) injection in overactive muscles is a standard treatment in patients with cerebral palsy. The effect is markedly reduced in children above the age of 6 to 7.
