This study aimed to evaluate the use of infrared thermography (IRT) as a method for predicting the initial and ultimate temperature, as well as the pH, of the Longissimus thoracis in beef carcasses (LTBC). A total of 102 beef carcasses, consisting of...
Sarcopenia and body composition metrics are strongly associated with patient outcomes. In this study, we developed and validated a flexible, open-access pipeline integrating available deep learning-based segmentation models with pre- and postprocessi...
The accurate assessment of muscle morphology and function is crucial for medical diagnostics, rehabilitation, and biomechanical research. This study presents a novel methodology for constructing volumetric models of forearm muscles based on three-dim...
There is increasing interest in using assistive robotic devices to support motor re-learning and recovery in individuals with neurological impairments. These robots aim to enhance overall motor control by providing adaptive assistance. However, using...

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a widely employed bio-signal that captures human muscle activity via electrodes placed on the skin. Several studies have proposed methods to remove sEMG contaminants, as non-invasive measurements render sEMG suscept...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to motor neuron degeneration, muscle weakness, and respiratory failure. Despite ongoing research, effective treatments for ALS are limited. This study aimed to...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is associated with decreased survival in cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was widely used in image-guided radiotherapy. Sarcopenia is assessed by the skeletal muscle index...
Sarcopenia, affecting between 1-29% of the older population, is characterized by an age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Reduced muscle strength, either in terms of quantity or quality, and poor physical performance are among the cr...

In liver transplantation (LT), determining the optimal recipients is crucial, and the MELD score has been used for this purpose. However, the MELD score does not reflect functional status, leading to the evaluation of sarcopenia. While the L3 skeleta...
Skeletal muscle's elegant protein-based architecture powers motion throughout the animal kingdom, with its constituent actomyosin complexes driving intra- and extra-cellular motion. Classical motors and recently developed soft actuators cannot match ...
