Reliability of computed tomography measurements in assessment of thigh muscle cross-sectional area and attenuation
BACKGROUND Advancement in technology of computer tomography (CT) and introduction of new medical imaging softwares enables easy and rapid assessment of muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and attenuation. Before using these techniques in clinical studies there is a need for evaluation of the reliability of the measurements. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the inter- and intra-observer re...
متن کاملThe Intrarater Reliability of Rehabilitation Ultrasonography and Linear and Cross Sectional Measurements of the Lumbar Multifidus Muscles in Normal Subjects
Objective: Using rehabilitation ultrasonography imaging (RUSI) is widely growing in the physiotherapy clinics of developed countries. Due to this new application, it is necessary to consider the repeatability of this new technique by novice physiotherapists and applied methods to measure the muscle size. This study has been designed to investigate the intrarater reliability and also the relatio...
متن کاملForce per cross-sectional area from molecules to muscles: a general property of biological motors
We propose to formally extend the notion of specific tension, i.e. force per cross-sectional area-classically used for muscles, to quantify forces in molecular motors exerting various biological functions. In doing so, we review and compare the maximum tensions exerted by about 265 biological motors operated by about 150 species of different taxonomic groups. The motors considered range from si...
متن کاملAssociations of muscle force, power, cross‐sectional muscle area and bone geometry in older UK men
BACKGROUND Ageing is associated with sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and increased fall risk, all of which contribute to increased fracture risk. Mechanically, bone strength adapts in response to forces created by muscle contractions. Adaptations can be through changes in bone size, geometry, and bending strength. Muscle mass is often used as a surrogate for muscle force; however, force can be increa...
متن کاملPeak torque per unit cross-sectional area differs between strength-trained and untrained young adults.
It is unclear whether gender differences in the relative strength of the upper and lower body are due to differences in muscle mass distribution or dissimilarity of use. There is also controversy as to whether prolonged resistance training increases strength per unit cross-sectional area (CSA). To help resolve these questions, maximum isometric torque per unit muscle and bone (M+B) CSA was meas...
