Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between echo intensity (EI) of vastus lateralis and knee extension strength (KES) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 304 patients (189 males and 115 females) with T2DM who were hospitalized for treatment or care. EI and muscle thickness (MT) of the right vastus lateralis were assessed from transverse ultrasound images.
Background: Lumbar spondylolysis is a defect in the pars interarticularis that is common in young athletes; the stress distribution at the pars interarticularis is the highest in extension and rotation movements. The paraspinal muscles play an important role in stabilization of the lumbar spine; however, no study has assessed the properties of paraspinal muscles in athletes with lumbar spondylolysis.
Objective: To evaluate the properties of paraspinal muscles in athletes with lumbar spondylolysis.
Background: The erector spinae is more resistant to fatigue in adult women than men. However, no study has reported the sex differences in back muscle fatigue in children.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the fatigability of erector spinae in prepubertal children and adults, in both males and females.
Background Context: Previous studies reported that the erector spinae muscle is more resistant to fatigue in healthy adult women than in men. However, no study has reported changes in back muscle fatigue with aging in healthy men and women.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate age-related changes in muscle fatigue of erector spinae muscle in men and women.
