Background: Premorbid sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and obesity are epiphenomena that affect survival and functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The effects of preexisting sarcopenia and/or osteopenia on long-term outcome after ischemic stroke were herein prospectively studied.
Methods: Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DeXA), bio-impedance analysis (BIA) and muscle ultrasonography (US) data were prospectively collected within the first 72 hours in 297 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients (45.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how muscle thickness (MT) changes in the biceps brachii (BB) and brachialis (BRA) during two exercises: dumbbell curls (DC) and dumbbell rows (DR), using ultrasound imaging to measure MT before and after the workouts.
- It found that during DC, the BB had a significant increase in MT (18.67%) compared to the BRA (12.27%), highlighting the specific muscle response to different exercises.
- Results suggest that while both exercises can effectively target the BRA, the DC is especially beneficial for stimulating the BB, indicating variations in muscle response based on the type of exercise performed.

Introduction: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and incomplete paralysis may experience muscle immobilization due to functional impairment of agonist and antagonist muscles. This can induce spasticity and pain, with the risk of contracture increasing as the period of immobilization increases. This could be aggravated by pain, which interferes with rehabilitation.

Purpose: Recent advancements in elastography techniques, specifically supersonic shearwave elastography (SWE), have enabled non-invasive assessment of muscle stiffness. However, there is limited research on the immediate and short-term effects of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in well-trained individuals. This study aimed to follow up on the effects of eccentric training on the biceps brachialis stiffness by supersonic shearwave imaging (SSI) as well as the soreness and elbow flexion maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), immediately post-intervention, at 10 min, 48 h, and 96 h in well-trained men.

This study aimed to compare the mechanical (lifting velocity and maximum number of repetitions), physiological (muscular activation, lactate, heart rate, and blood pressure), and psychological (rating of perceived exertion) responses to upper-body pushing exercises performed wearing a sports elastomeric garment or a placebo garment. Nineteen physically active young adults randomly completed two training sessions that differed only in the sports garment used (elastomeric technology or placebo). In each session, subjects performed one set of seated shoulder presses and another set of push-ups until muscular failure.
