INTRODUCTION: Grip strength serves as a significant marker for diagnosing and assessing sarcopenia, particularly in elderly populations. The study aims to explore the relationship between individual thigh muscle volumes and grip strength, leveraging ...
The present study investigated the effects of a combined hot and hypoxic environment on muscle oxygenation during repeated 15-s maximal cycling sprints. In a single-blind, cross-over study, nine trained sprinters performed three 15-s maximal cycling ...

In this study, a patient in the Intensive Care-Unit received robot-based mobilization therapy with an assist-as-needed (AAN) function over the course of three weeks. Therapists were able to adapt the hip range of motion $\beta$, the bed verticalizati...
A stroke is a common disease that can easily lead to lower limb motor dysfunction in the elderly. Stroke survivors can effectively train muscle strength through leg flexion and extension training. However, available lower limb rehabilitation robots i...

PURPOSE: Manual reconstruction (MR) of the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) from sequential ultrasound (US) images is accessible, is reproducible, and has concurrent validity with magnetic resonance imaging. However, this techn...
(1) Background: The aim was to validate an AI-based system compared to the classic method of reading ultrasound images of the rectus femur (RF) muscle in a real cohort of patients with disease-related malnutrition. (2) Methods: One hundred adult pati...
Sarcopenia has been recognized as a determining factor in surgical outcomes and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and readmission. Diagnosis is currently based on clinical guidelines, which includes assessment of sk...
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning approaches such as DeepACSA enable automated segmentation of muscle ultrasound cross-sectional area (CSA). Although they provide fast and accurate results, most are developed using data from healthy populations. The changes i...
Adipogenesis is intricately linked to the onset and progression of muscle aging; however, the relevant biomarkers remain unclear. This study sought to identify key genes associated with adipogenesis in the context of muscle aging. Firstly, gene expre...
Muscle ultrasound has high utility in clinical practice and research; however, the main challenges are the training and time required for manual analysis to achieve objective quantification of muscle size and quality. We aimed to develop and validate...
