Purpose This narrative review provides an overview of the current knowledge of B-mode
ultrasound-derived echo intensity (EI) as an indicator of skeletal muscle quality. Method …

Muscle echo intensity, as measured by ultrasonography, could be used as a new marker of
functional performance in older populations. This scoping review aimed to present evidence …

Background Dynapenia is prevalent in people with reduced skeletal muscle mass, ie
sarcopenia, but a certain population develops muscle strength loss despite having normal …

Recently, an equation that allows investigators to correct echo intensity for subcutaneous fat
was developed. We evaluated correlations between uncorrected and corrected echo …

Echo intensity (EI) is being increasingly utilized by investigators as an index of skeletal
muscle quality. Previous studies have reported independent associations between EI versus …

Ultrasonography-derived cross-sectional area (CSA) and echo intensity (EI) are increasingly
utilized by investigators to study muscle size and quality, respectively. We sought to examine …

Background Echo intensity (EI) on ultrasonography images of skeletal muscle reflects
muscle composition. Objectives The primary aim of the study was to investigate the inter …

Background Infiltration of muscle with non-lean tissue, such as fat, reduces muscle quality.
Ultrasound captures muscle quality through measurement of echogenicity. Given the …

Background Ultrasonography is used to evaluate muscle quality (ie echo intensity [EI]), but
an attenuation of ultrasound waves occurs in deeper tissues, potentially affecting these …

Objectives: The link between hamstring morphology and postural balance performance in
older adults is not well understood. This study aimed to examine the relationships between …
