Background—Near infrared spectroscopy can be used in non-invasive monitoring of changes in skeletal muscle oxygenation in exercising subjects. Objective—To evaluate whether this method can be used to ...

Measurement of the phase angle (PhA) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be explored as a quick and non-invasive method to measure muscle activity and strength, especially useful in people ...

A simplified creatinine index reflects the creatinine generation rate of individual patients on hemodialysis. A simplified creatinine index (SCI) is a reliable and inexpensive marker of muscle mass ...

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) provides significant benefits to patients with advanced multiple sclerosis (MS), and those benefits are retained 8 weeks after cessation of training, according to a ...

There are various ways to estimate muscle mass percentage. These include using medical equipment, calculating body fat percentage, and measuring certain areas of the body. Maintaining a healthy ...

Muscle function loss occurs when your muscles don’t work or move normally. Complete muscle function loss, or paralysis, involves being unable to contract your muscles normally. If your muscles lose ...

It’s hard to accurately measure muscle mass as it depends on various factors. Though the data is limited, research does provide some insight. Your body mass is made up of two components: body fat and ...
