1. 1. 3D Freehand Ultrasonography in Quantifying Muscle Morphological Parameters in Lower Extremity

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Ruoyu Huang; [2021]
   Keywords : 3D freehand ultrasonography; muscle structure; fascicle length; pennation angle;

   Abstract : Muscle morphological parameters such as fascicle length (FL), pennationangle (PA) and physiologic cross-sectional area (PCSA) can provide an insightinto the reasons of the deteriorated muscle functions caused by pathologies.This study investigates the 3D structure of the lower leg muscles using 3Dfreehand ultrasound (3DfUS).

3. 2. Individualized Contractile Ankle Joint Muscular Properties in Healthy and Post-Stroke Subjects

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Hoor Jalo; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This study investigated the contractile properties of the plantar-and dorsi-flexor muscles controlling the ankle joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the muscle strength and muscle architecture change after stroke, and how the muscle strength and architecture are correlated. READ MORE

4. 3. A Method to Examine Passive and Active Force Production, and their Correlations with Muscle Morphological Parameters for Healthy Children

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Elif Dumlu; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Muscle morphological and mechanical properties play a crucial role in explaining the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of muscle weakness, joint stiffness, muscle contraction, and the resultant loss of motor function in children. Information in the literature about how muscle architecture correlate with muscle force production in passive and active conditions in children is very limited. READ MORE

5. 4. Determination of In-vivo Muscle Architecture : Comparison of Ultrasound and Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Analysis of Muscle Morphology in Post-stroke Patients

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Clara Körting; [2018]
   Keywords : Ultrasound; MRI; Diffusion tensor imaging; Muscle architecture; Stroke;

   Abstract : This study investigates the in-vivo architecture of muscles in the lower leg using 2D ultrasound (US) and 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques. The muscle architecture of the gastrocnemius, posterior soleus and tibialis anterior were compared using US and DTI imaging. READ MORE
