Measurement of the phase angle (PhA) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be explored as a quick and non-invasive method to measure muscle activity and strength, especially useful in people ...

Background Knee extensor and flexor strength are associated with injury risk, including rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. However, the longitudinal changes in lower extremity strength with ...

Objective To update a systematic review on the association between knee extensor muscle weakness and the risk of incident knee osteoarthritis in women and men. Data sources Systematic searches in ...

"Although we presume that overall muscle volume is important as a surrogate marker for muscle strength, the ratio, hence the balance, between extensor and hamstring muscles may be more important and ...

Muscular strength and its improvement are important to everyone for their regular day-to-day life activities. Conventionally, muscle function can be assessed by means of physical performance tests and ...
