Persistent quadriceps muscle atrophy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is associated with alterations in exercise-induced myokine production

Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology, 2022
Purpose: Persistent quadriceps muscle atrophy is observed in a subset of patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) despite the completion of comprehensive rehabilitation.

Association between ultrasound quadriceps muscle status with premorbid functional status and 60-day mortality in mechanically ventilated critically ill patient: A single-center prospective observational study.

Clinical Nutrition, 2020
BACKGROUND & AIMS In critically ill patients, direct measurement of skeletal muscle using bedside ultrasound (US) may identify a patient population that might benefit more from optimal nutrition practices.

Older Age, Poor Preoperative Quadriceps Muscle Strength, and Residual Pain as Risk Factors for Poor Quadriceps Muscle Strength Recovery at 1 Year After ACL Reconstruction: A TMDU MAKS Study of 402 Patients

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023
Background: Poor postoperative quadriceps muscle strength recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) leads to delayed return to sports and lower patient satisfaction.

Utility of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation to Preserve Quadriceps Muscle Fiber Size and Contractility Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Reconstruction: A Randomized, Sham-Controlled, Blinded Trial

American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and reconstruction (ACLR) promote quadriceps muscle atrophy and weakness that can persist for years, suggesting the need for more effective rehabilitation programs.

Ultrasonographic changes in quadriceps femoris thickness in women with normal pregnancy and women on bed rest for threatened preterm labor

Scientific Reports, 2022
This study aimed to evaluate the changes in quadriceps femoris muscle thickness during the pregnancy and postpartum periods and to elucidate the effect of bed rest for threatened preterm labor on muscle thickness.

Quantitative sonographic assessment of quadriceps muscle thickness for fall injury prediction in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: an observational cohort study

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background Accidental fall risk is high in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Falls are associated with fatal injury, comorbidities, and mortality. Risk assessment should be a primary component of fall prevention.

Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field as an intervention for patients with quadriceps weakness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a double-blinded, randomized-controlled trial

Trials, 2022
Background The ultimate goal of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLR) is to fulfil the return-to-play (RTP) criteria. Quadriceps muscle strength is one of the key determinants for a patient’s successful return-to-play after ACLR.

Preoperative quadriceps muscle strength deficit severity predicts knee function one year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Scientific Reports, 2022
Quadriceps strength is critical for patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction; however, little is known about the relationship between preoperative quadriceps strength deficit and postoperative subjective knee functions.
