The Use of MSK Ultrasound with Quadriceps Muscle Injury. [PDF]

Int J Sports Phys Ther, 2023
Quadriceps muscle injury is a common occurrence, especially among athletes. While a careful history and a thorough physical examination are important steps in the assessment of quadriceps muscle pathology, it is still difficult to differentiate the type and severity of the pathology. Because of this difficulty, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) is an

Relationship between Volitional and Non-Volitional Quadriceps Muscle Endurance in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]

Diagnostics
Volitional assessment of quadriceps muscle endurance is clinically relevant in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, studies that determine the construct validity of volitional tests by comparing them to non-volitional ...

Changes in lower limb muscle function and muscle mass following exercise-based interventions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : a review of the English-language literature [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients often experience lower limb muscle dysfunction and wasting. Exercise-based training has potential to improve muscle function and mass, but literature on this topic is extensive and heterogeneous ...
