Echo intensity of the rectus femoris in stable COPD patients
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether echo intensity of the rectus femoris when measured using ultrasound can distinguish muscles affected by COPD compared with healthy non-COPD affected muscles and whether the severity of ultrasonic abnormalities was associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS Echo intensity, areas of the rectus femoris, and the thick...
متن کاملRectus Femoris Tendon Calcification
Background: Since it was developed, hip arthroscopy has become the favored treatment for femoroacetabular impingement. Due to recent considerable improvements, the indications for this technique have been widely extended. Injuries of the rectus femoris tendon origin, after an acute phase, could result in a chronic tendinopathy with calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition, leading to pain and ...
متن کاملProximal rectus femoris lengthening.
There are two main problems with muscle tendon lengthening: thinness created by the technical procedure weakens the tendon, and in short tendons, lengthening may not provide enough length for the amount of joint motion required. In proximal rectus femoris lengthening, the distal ends of the reflected and straight heads are sutured together. Using this technique, the tendon will not be thinned, ...
متن کاملinfluence of inward pressure of the transducer on thickness and echo intensity of the rectus femoris muscle during ultrasonography
conclusions our results indicate that changes in muscle thickness and echo intensity are induced by different inward pressures of the transducer during us. when using a technique that involves a handheld transducer, the examiner should attempt to maintain consistent inward pressure of the transducer during us, to quantify the minimal change of the rf mass and composition. results muscle thickne...
متن کاملRectus Femoris Muscle Volume Estimate by Ultrasonography
Imaging techniques allow in vivo measurement of parameters studied in vitro or ex vivo and thus greater reliability regarding muscle mechanics in real situations. Some muscle architecture parameters are directly related to force production, mainly the volume. It can be estimated by the sum of segmental volumes (product of the sum of crosssectional areas and the distance between them) of sequent...
