Measuring muscle quantity and quality is very important because the loss of associated with several adverse effects specifically in older people. Ultrasound a method widely used to measure quality. One problem ultrasound its limited field view, which makes it impossible certain muscles. In this study, we aimed evaluate intra- inter-rater reliability extended-field-of-view (EFOV) for measurement nine muscles limbs trunk.Two examiners took two EFOV images linear probe from each sites. The...
Echo intensity determined by muscle ultrasound has been proposed as an efficient method for the assessment of quality. The influence changing parameter settings on echo values was assessed using a standardized approach. In this repeated measures cross-sectional study, sixteen scans rectus femoris, gracilis, and abdominis were taken in 21 middle-aged persons with portable Mindray M7 premium machine equipped linear 5.0–10.0 MHz transducer. three parameters fixed: gain, depth, frequency....
ABSTRACT Objectives There may be no doubt that circumferences, measured at different sites of body segments, have a variety applications. Studies using girths are based on assumed logic, but within general context literature is found as to the origin choice particular circumference for application. The purpose this study relate each (i) with segmental tissue masses and (ii) all whole‐body masses; in order provide complete constitutional reliability report girth available. Methods Subsequent...
Although the occurrence of muscle spindles (MS) is quite high in most skeletal muscles humans, few MS, or even absence, have been reported digastric and mylohyoideus muscles. Even if this condition generally accepted quoted many papers books, observational studies are scarce based on histological sections a low number specimens. The aim present study to confirm previous data, assessing MS sample We investigated 11 6 from 13 donors. Muscle samples were embedded paraffin wax, cross-sectioned...
Imaging the lower limb during weight-bearing conditions is essential to acquire advanced functional joint information. The horizontal bed position of CT systems however hinders this process. purpose study was validate and test a device simulate realistic knee motion in dynamic acquisition process acquired images."Orthostatic squats" compared "Horizontal on with loads between 35% 55% body weight (%BW) 20 healthy volunteers. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), standard error measurement...
Background: According to EWGSOP2, the diagnosis of sarcopenia is confirmed when in addition low muscle strength, quantity or quality present. Echo intensity (EI) determined by ultrasound (US) has been proposed as an efficient method for assessment quality. The effect changing various US parameter settings on EI remains unclear. Therefore, aim this study was assess differences between values obtained adjusting over their entire range a sample middle-aged healthy subjects.

Abstract In anatomical research and education, three‐dimensional visualization of structures is crucial for understanding spatial relationships in diagnostics, surgical planning, teaching. While computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offer valuable insights, they are often expensive require specialized resources. This study explores photogrammetry as an affordable accessible approach 3D modeling contexts. Two methods were compared: conventional open‐source software...
Abstract This study verifies the three‐dimensional anatomical features of transverse and alar ligaments with reference to axis using a direct in vitro approach. In 20 fresh spine specimens, metal markers were inserted on cranium, atlas, axis. After registration intact specimen, bony segments separated, landmarks digitized. The length orientation derived from relative position data. atlas have mean estimated 21 mm an absolute angle (i.e., independent any frame) 119° ± 17°. 9 2.5 mm, between...
In Brief Study Design. The present study verifies the 3-dimensional anatomic features of lateral atlantoaxial joints with reference to a local frame using direct in vitro approach. Objective. To concordance between axial and atlantal articular surfaces. Summary Background Data. Detailed information joint-configurations is imperative for understanding complex kinematics upper cervical joint. Data on quantitative morphology human spinal facet has been published, but did not include...
