Relationship between the morphology and composition of the lumbar paraspinal and psoas muscles and lumbar intervertebral motion in chronic low‐back pain: An exploratory study

, 2022
Muscles of the lumbar spine play an important role in controlling segmental intervertebral motion. This study aimed to evaluate the association between lumbar intervertebral motion and changes in lumbar morphology/composition in people with chronic low ...

Correlation between muscle mass and quality around the hip and of psoas muscles at L3 level using unenhanced CT scans

, 2020
Objective: CT segmentation of psoas muscles at L3 level is used to measure sarcopenia status, but it is not feasible when L3 is not included in the examination.

MRI Features of Psoas Major Muscles in Patients with Paraspinal Muscle Atrophy

Global Spine Journal, 2015
Introduction Maintaining both lumbar lordosis and paraspinal muscle function is important for prevention of sagittal imbalance. We previously reported that the cross-sectional area of the paraspinal muscles tends to decrease with age.

Comparative analysis of the transcriptomes of EDL, psoas, and soleus muscles from mice

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Individual skeletal muscles have evolved to perform specific tasks based on their molecular composition. In general, muscle fibers are characterized as either fast-twitch or slow-twitch based on their myosin heavy chain isoform profiles.

Lumbopelvic Muscle Changes Following Long-Duration Spaceflight

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Long-duration spaceflight has been shown to negatively affect the lumbopelvic muscles of crewmembers. Through analysis of computed tomography scans of crewmembers on 4- to 6-month missions equipped with the interim resistive exercise device, the ...

Reference for normal measurements of psoas muscle among the adult population in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Journal for Health Sciences, 2023
Background: Psoas muscle measurements and values are generally used to diagnose sarcopenia and evaluate health and well-being. These tests can provide valuable and objective methods to assess patient tolerance to treatments including major surgery ...

Muscle, Ageing and Temperature Influence the Changes in Texture, Cooking Loss and Shrinkage of Cooked Beef

Foods, 2020
This study aimed to quantify the effect of muscle, ageing and cooking temperature on the texture, cooking loss and shrinkage of cooked beef. Cuboids from unaged (1 day post mortem) and aged (14 days post mortem) semitendinosus, biceps femoris and psoas ...

Psoas muscle index and psoas muscle density as predictors of mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the associations of computed tomography (CT)-measured psoas muscle index (PMI: psoas muscle area normalized by height) and psoas muscle density (PMD: average of bilateral psoas muscle CT values [Hounsfield unit (HU)]) with mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
