Superficial and deep lumbar multifidus layers of asymptomatic individuals: intraday and interday reliability of the echo intensity measurement
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "European Spine Journal"
DOI: 10.1007/s00586-020-06576-4
Abstract: Introduction Ultrasonography has been used to understand the functional and biomechanical aspects of the lumbar multifidus muscle in vivo. To characterize the multifidus echogenicity, the peculiarities of their superficial and deep layers must be considered.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2020.111047
Abstract: Echo intensity (EI) is being increasingly utilized by investigators as an index of skeletal muscle quality. Previous studies have reported independent associations between EI versus both age and muscle strength. PURPOSE We sought to determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cpf.12630
Abstract: It is suggested that changes in echo intensity (EI) measured through ultrasound can detect muscle swelling. However, changes in EI have never been examined relative to a non‐exercise control following naïve exposure to exercise. read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cpf.12778
Abstract: Numerous studies have corrected the echo intensity of the vastus lateralis for subcutaneous fat thickness. However, it is unclear if correction for subcutaneous fat improves the correlation between vastus lateralis echo intensity and physical performance.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0262271
Abstract: Age-associated intramuscular adipose tissue (IntraMAT) deposition induces the development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. However, the relationship between IntraMAT and biochemical parameters in older adults remains unclear. The purpose of this study, therefore, was… read more here.
