Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Masahide Yagi"

  • - Recent research by Masahide Yagi has focused on understanding the biomechanical and physiological factors affecting muscle function and joint health in older adults, particularly regarding conditions like knee osteoarthritis and rotator cuff injuries.
  • - Key findings include the influence of intramuscular fat infiltration on muscle mechanics during contraction, the importance of muscle coordination in gait among patients with knee osteoarthritis, and novel imaging techniques like ultrasonography and shear wave elastography to assess muscle and cartilage properties.
  • - Yagi's studies emphasize the relationship between muscle quality, fat infiltration, and functional disabilities, offering insights into potential therapeutic interventions and rehabilitation strategies for aging populations and those with musculoskeletal problems.
