Using Deep Learning to Perform Automatic Quantitative Measurement of Masseter and Tongue Muscles in Persons With Dementia: Cross-Sectional Study

Using Deep Learning to Perform Automatic Quantitative Measurement of Masseter and Tongue Muscles in Persons With Dementia: Cross-Sectional Study

To diagnose sarcopenia, measurement of muscle mass, muscle performance, and strength is necessary [2]. Estimating muscle performance and strength is accessible and cheap with traditional methods, such as gait speed and grip strength, respectively [5]. However, techniques such as dual X-ray absorptiometry or body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are necessary to accurately assess lean or muscle mass. These methods can increase costs and time and are impractical in settings such as dementia clinics [6].

Self-Reported Side Effects Associated With Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators: Social Media Data Analysis

Self-Reported Side Effects Associated With Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators: Social Media Data Analysis

Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are synthetic androgen receptor ligands designed to have anabolic effects in muscle and bone while minimizing unwanted androgenic effects in areas like the prostate and cardiovascular system [1]. This tissue selectivity makes SARMs an attractive option for treating conditions such as osteoporosis and muscle wasting while avoiding the systemic side effects associated with traditional androgen therapies.

Multiparametric MRI Assessment of Morpho-Functional Muscle Changes Following a 6-Month FES-Cycling Training Program: Pilot Study in People With a Complete Spinal Cord Injury

Multiparametric MRI Assessment of Morpho-Functional Muscle Changes Following a 6-Month FES-Cycling Training Program: Pilot Study in People With a Complete Spinal Cord Injury

The effects of FES-cycling training on muscle health after SCI are multifaceted and include muscle atrophy attenuation or reversal [10-12], increased muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) [13-15], increased muscle size [10], improved body composition, plasma glucose, and SM glucose uptake [16-18], increased power output, peak isometric strength, knee extensor torque [13,19,20], and increased motor function scores [19].

A Computed Tomography–Based Fracture Prediction Model With Images of Vertebral Bones and Muscles by Employing Deep Learning: Development and Validation Study

A Computed Tomography–Based Fracture Prediction Model With Images of Vertebral Bones and Muscles by Employing Deep Learning: Development and Validation Study

Further, as paravertebral muscles are among the critical contributing factors to vertebral fractures [16,17], CT could be a valuable method for acquiring information on both the muscle and vertebral bone. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, no previous study has reported using images of both the vertebral bone and muscle from CT scans by using the CNN method.

The Effect of a Novel Video Game on Young Soccer Players' Sports Performance and Attention: Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effect of a Novel Video Game on Young Soccer Players' Sports Performance and Attention: Randomized Controlled Trial

Usually, these technologies rely on 3 D movement analysis, muscle activation assessment, and force production evaluation. Nonetheless, the high economic cost and specialized expertise required for their use pose significant challenges, making it difficult to implement them in the daily lives of athletes.

Exploring the Design of Upper Limb Strength Training Through High-Intensity Interval Training Combined With Exergaming: Usability Study

Exploring the Design of Upper Limb Strength Training Through High-Intensity Interval Training Combined With Exergaming: Usability Study

In a study on muscle activation for strength training, Alizadeh et al [11] investigated the muscle activation patterns of push-ups and sit-ups, measuring the activation of the anterior and lateral portions of the deltoid muscle, as well as the sternal and clavicular heads of the pectoralis major muscle. The results showed variations in muscle activation levels despite the similarity in the exercises, highlighting differences in muscle engagement across different parts of the body.

Preliminary Assessment of an Ambulatory Device Dedicated to Upper Airway Muscle Training in Patients With Sleep Apnea: Proof-of-Concept Study

Preliminary Assessment of an Ambulatory Device Dedicated to Upper Airway Muscle Training in Patients With Sleep Apnea: Proof-of-Concept Study

The first 1.5 seconds allow the user to react and adjust muscle contraction to fit within the targeted pressure range. A success score corresponding to the percentage of time the participant successfully applied pressure in the given range is computed during the last 1.5 seconds. The task repeats for 10 cycles, after which a cumulative score is computed. For the breathing task, the participant is asked to continuously apply a small lip pressure of 4% of the maximal value.
