Bilateral changes in muscle architecture of physically active people with chronic stroke: A quantitative muscle ultrasound study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Clinical Neurophysiology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2016.10.096
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Changes in muscle architecture after stroke are usually assessed by investigating inter-limb differences. As a result bilateral changes of muscle architecture might be missed. Our aim was to investigate whether bilateral architectural changes in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2019.04.483
Abstract: Background Fasciculations represent brief spontaneous or triggered contractions of motor units that can be seen as flickering movements under the skin and represent a valuable sign of lower motor neuron lesion. It is sometimes difficult… read more here.

Muscle Ultrasound and Sarcopenia in Older Individuals: A Clinical Perspective.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of the American Medical Directors Association"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2016.11.013
Abstract: INTRODUCTION A precise quantitative measurement of skeletal muscle mass is fundamental for diagnosing sarcopenia in older individuals. The current techniques of assessment, including dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioimpedance analysis (BIA), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/mcg.0000000000001745
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sarcopenic obesity (SO) marks a confluence of 2 complex entities involving the muscle-liver-adipose tissue axis. Computed tomographic (CT) scan-derived skeletal muscle index (SMI) remains the gold standard for sarcopenia assessment in SO.… read more here.

Development of muscle ultrasound density in healthy fetuses and infants
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0235836
Abstract: Muscle ultrasound density (MUD) is a non-invasive parameter to indicate neuromuscular integrity in both children and adults. In healthy fetuses and infants, physiologic MUD values during development are still lacking. We therefore aimed to determine… read more here.
