BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence that myosteatosis, which is currently not assessed in clinical routine, plays an important role in risk estimation in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism, as it is associated with the progression of i...
BACKGROUND: With the progressive increase in aging populations, the use of opportunistic computed tomography (CT) scanning is increasing, which could be a valuable method for acquiring information on both muscles and bones of aging populations.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements are a valid method for sublesional muscle activity following spinal cord injury (SCI). In the literature there are few reports evaluating the effect of robotic assisted gait tra...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass, strength, and function, is primarily attributable to aging. DNA methylation, influenced by both genetic predispositions and environmental exposures, plays a significant ro...
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) affects roughly 1 in 7500 individuals. While at the population level there is a general pattern of affected muscles, there is substantial heterogeneity in muscle expression across- and within-patients. Th...
Accurately estimating knee joint angle during walking from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals can enable more natural control of wearable robotics like exoskeletons. However, challenges exist due to variability across individuals and sessions. T...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Lower-limb wearable devices can significantly improve the quality of life of subjects suffering from debilitating conditions, such as amputations, neurodegenerative disorders, and stroke-related impairments. Current control...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Accurate diagnosis of sarcopenia requires evaluation of muscle quality, which refers to the amount of fat infiltration in muscle tissue. In this study, we aim to investigate whether we can independently predict mortality risk in tr...
