Objective To examine the relationships between muscle mass, intramuscular adipose and
fibrous tissues of the quadriceps, and gait independence in chronic stroke survivors. Design …

Objective Improving muscle mass and intramuscular fat in the mid-thigh increases the
muscle strength of the paretic and non-paretic limbs in ambulatory chronic stroke survivors …

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to examine longitudinal changes in quadriceps
muscle mass and intramuscular adipose tissue in chronic stroke survivors. Materials and …

Introduction: Smaller muscle size and higher adipose tissue ratio of the quadriceps femoris
are often observed after stroke. However, it is unclear whether muscle size and the …

Background: Loss of skeletal muscle mass is one of the main reasons for disability in
patients with stroke. However, lower leg muscle wasting has not been studied in acute …

Background and Purpose—Muscle weakness is recognized as a key factor in gait
performance of poststroke individuals, but its impact on lower-limb muscular effort has been …

Background and Purpose This study compared the muscle thickness (MT) and echo
intensity (EI) of the abdominal, thigh, and lower leg muscles between the paretic and …

Objective Relationship between secondary changes in skeletal muscle and body weight in
chronic stroke survivors has not yet been carefully examined. The objective of this study was …

Objective: The stroke survivors exhibit change in muscle quantity and quality compared to
healthy older adults. This study aimed to compare the muscle thickness (MT) and echo …

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Individuals who survive a stroke often display
considerable gait impairments that occur in part due to inadequate muscle force production …
