Skeletal muscle quality assessed from echo intensity is associated with muscle strength of middle-aged and elderly persons

The data suggest that muscle quantity and muscle quality assessed from EI measured using computer-aided gray-scale analysis independently contribute to muscle strength in middle-aged and elderly persons.

Acute and prolonged effect of static stretching on the passive stiffness of the human gastrocnemius muscle tendon unit in vivo

Investigation of the acute and prolonged effect of SS on the mechanical properties of the muscle‐tendon unit suggests that 5 min of SS affects MTU and muscle stiffness both immediately and 10”min after SS, which may be associated with a change in the connective tissue properties.

Effects of a 4-week static stretch training program on passive stiffness of human gastrocnemius muscle-tendon unit in vivo

It is suggested that a 4-week static stretch training program changes the flexibility of the overall MTU without causing concomitant changes in muscle fascicle length.

Effects of age and inactivity due to prolonged bed rest on atrophy of trunk muscles

Age-related atrophy compared with young women was less in the deep antigravity trunk muscles than the superficial muscles in the independent elderly women, and atrophy associated with chronic bed rest was more marked in the antig gravity muscles, such as the back and transversus abdominis.

Relation between muscle thickness, spasticity, and activity limitations in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy

The clinical relevance of assessment of muscle thickness across a broad spectrum of individuals with CP was established and the degree of knee flexion contracture correlated positively with the MAS rating of the knee flexor muscles and negatively with the MTQ.
