Patients with acute/critical illness are particularly vulnerable to muscle loss and fluid shifts,
which adversely impact clinical outcomes. Assessment of these parameters in hospital …

The purpose of this study was to examine the age-related site-specific muscle loss of the
upper and lower extremities and trunk in men and women. Japanese nonobese adults aged …

Very little information is available concerning the relationship between handgrip strength
and muscle size in the upper and lower extremities, especially the forearm muscle itself. To …

Objectives Exercise training during the acute phase of burns is difficult to implement but
offers potential benefits. This multicenter trial explored the effects of an exercise program on …

Objectives Despite the impact of muscle wasting after burn, tools to quantify muscle wasting
are lacking. This multi-centre study examined the utility of ultrasound to measure muscle …

Background Despite being a stable component of burn rehabilitation at later stages of
recovery, exercise training is not commonly provided during the acute phase of burns. A lack …

Exercise mode and intensity/duration are important factors for influencing muscle
