The strength of associations between ultrasound measures of upper limb muscle morphology and isometric muscle strength: An exploratory study.

Introduction/aims: Assessing upper limb muscle strength is important for understanding health outcomes, such as daily function and mortality. Ultrasound (US) is increasingly used to evaluate muscle health, but the relationship between its measures of morphology and isometric strength has not been thoroughly explored in upper limb muscles. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between US morphological measures and isometric strength in functionally relevant upper limb muscles in healthy adults.
