In several neurological disorders and muscle injuries, morphological changes of the m.
semitendinosus (ST) are presumed to contribute to movement limitations around the knee …

Background Diagnostic ultrasound (US) is a commonly used imaging modality for
visualising tendon pathology and morphology. In comparison to magnetic resonance …

Ultrasound is a potential method for assessing muscle size of the extremity and trunk. In a
large muscle, however, a single image from portable ultrasound measures only muscle …

The purpose of this study was to compare the architectural parameters of the long head of
biceps femoris (BFlh) and semitendinosus (ST) muscles by comparing measurements from …

Introduction Muscle thickness (MT) and muscle echo-intensity (EI) allow the study of skeletal
muscle adaptive changes with ultrasound. This study investigates the intra-and inter-session …

The aim of the present study was to determine the validity of ultrasound (US) imaging versus
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for measuring anterior thigh muscle, subcutaneous …

This study aimed to investigate the suitability of using ultrasonograph muscle thickness (MT)
measurements to estimate the muscle volume (MV) of the quadriceps femoris as an …

Muscle dimension changes on ultrasound imaging (USI) indicate contractile activity.
Quadriceps force and rectus femoris (RF) dimensions were examined to assess USI for …

Regarding hamstring stretching methods, many studies have investigated the effect of
stretching duration or frequency on muscle stiffness. However, the most effective stretching …

Background Some patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) show pain, stiffness and limited
flexion and extension at the back of the knee, leading to dysfunction and affecting life. This …
