Filter by:This study is an observational cross-sectional study. Post-operative patients need an immobilization period for a certain period of time after surgery. Kinetic chain changes due to immobilization can affect the symmetry of the core muscle. Therefore, in this study, core muscle asymmetry (CMA) is measured using a whole body tilt device for inpatients who have undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery. We would like to make a clinical suggestion for post-operative rehabilitation by identifying the characteristics of CMA according to the left or right site.
In addition to muscle thickness and average echo intensity, this study aimed to use quantitative ultrasonic technology to increase the number of related parameters of power Doppler ultrasonography measured to describe the number, quality, and recruitment level of muscles. In addition, this method was compared with the existing muscle strength testing methods. Image recognition was performed using the traditional multivariate linear regression statistical method and the AI convolutional neural network algorithm to investigate the application of quantitative ultrasonic technology for direct evaluation of muscle strength in clinical practice.
Skeletal muscle regenerates after injury, due to the satellite cells (SCs), the muscle stem cells that activate, proliferate, differentiate and fuse to form new myofibers. While SCs are indispensable for regeneration, there is increasing evidence for the need for an adequate cellular environment. Among the closest cellular partners of SCs are vascular cells. During muscle regeneration, endothelial cells (ECs) stimulate SC differentiation while SCs exhibit pro-angiogenic properties indicating a coupling between angiogenesis and myogenesis.The specific signaling cues controlling these relationships are still poorly characterized, specially in specific pathologic context such as limb ischemia. The investigators research aims to evaluate the role of chronic and acute lower limb ischemia on the SC status and interaction with ECs in human patients.
The aim of this study is to compare the surface electromyography (EGM) changes between dry needling in the upper trapezius, is a prevalence tonic fiber or lower trapezius is a prevalence phasic fiber.
The researcher wants to explore the genetic causes of muscle disease. The researcher is particularly interested in muscle disorders that occur in combination with diseases of bone that appear to be passed on from generation to generation. Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy will measure the concentrations of blood, water, and lipids (fats, for example) in your tissues. This device essentially measures the color of tissues in order to determine tissue physiology (its physical and chemical processes).
The researcher can use Diffuse Optical spectroscopy technique that uses harmless levels of near-infrared light to probe the concentrations and states of important physiological molecules such as hemoglobin water and lipids in human muscle,.
