The effects of body mass composition and cushion type on seat-interface pressure in spinal cord injured patients
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Segmental TBW, SMM, PBF | Cho KH et al. | 2015 | Korea | Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine
Objective To investigate the effects of body mass composition and cushion type on seat-interface pressure in spinal cord injured (SCI) patients and healthy subjects. Methods Twenty SCI patients and control subjects were included and their body mass composition measured. Seat-interface pressure was measured with participants in an upright sitting posture on a wheelchair with three kinds of seat cushion and without a seat cushion. We also measured the pressure with each participant in three kinds of sitting postures on each …
Aquatic therapy improves pain, disability, quality of life, body composition and fitness in sedentary adults with chronic low b
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMM, PBF | Baena-Beato PÁ et al. | 2014 | Spain | Clinical Rehabilitation
Objective: To determine the effects of a two-month intensive aquatic therapy programme on back pain, disability, quality of life, body composition and health-related fitness in sedentary adults with chronic low back pain. Design: Controlled clinical trial. Setting: Community. Subjects: Forty-nine sedentary patients with chronic low back pain. Interventions: Patients were allocated into active group (n= 24, two months, five times/week) or waiting list, control group (n= 25) according to space on the programme. Main measures: Outcomes variables …
Developing and validating an age-independent equation using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis for estimation of
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Impedance | Yosuke Yamada et al. | 2017 | Japan | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Background: Appendicular skeletal muscle (or lean) mass (ALM) estimated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is considered to be a preferred method for sarcopenia studies. However, DXA is expensive, has limited portability, and requires radiation exposure. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is inexpensive, easy to use, and portable; thus BIA might be useful in sarcopenia investigations. However, a large variety of models have been commercially supplied by different companies, and for most consumer products, the …
The Beneficial Effect of Physical Activity on Cognitive Function in Community-Dwelling Older Persons with Locomotive Syndrome:
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI, BMI | Nakamura et al. | 2020 | Japan | Research square
Bckground: Cognitive decline is closely related to motor decline. Locomotive syndrome (LS) is de ned as a state associated with a high risk of requiring support because of locomotive organ disorders, and can be evaluated using the Locomo 25 questionnaire. This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness of daily physical activity on cognitive function based on the presence or absence of LS. Methods: Community-dwelling older people who participated in a 3-month health class were divided into two populations based on Locomo 25 scores:< 7 …
Factors associated with masseter muscle quality assessed from ultrasonography in community-dwelling elderly individuals: A cros
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | K. Yamaguchi, et al. | 2019 | Japan | Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics
Background Associations between masseter muscle thickness (MMT) and limb muscle thickness, and between grip strength and MMT, as well as tooth-loss, have been reported previously. The previous study also showed that masseter muscle mass could be a better marker of sarcopenia than psoas muscle mass. Although the association between MMT and muscle strength is also known, the quality of the masseter muscle were not assessed in detail previously. We examined the relationship of masseter muscle echo intensity (MMEI) …
An analysis of age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and its significance on osteoarthritis in a Korean population
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | BMI, SMM, SMI, ASM, BFM, PBF, BMR | Kim HT et al. | 2016 | Korea | The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine
Methods: All the Korean subjects who visited the Yeungnam University Medical Center Health Promotion Center between 2008 and 2012 in order to undergo a routine medical examination were enrolled. A total of 5,723 young, healthy people (2,959 males, 2,764 females) enrolled as normal subjects and 23,473 subjects (13,006 males and 10,467 females) were included for evaluation of the effects of sarcopenia on OA. There were 266 subjects who followed-up bioelectrical impedance analysis at a 4-year interval. Of 327 …
Relationships between cystatin C-and creatinine-based eGFR in Japanese rural community-dwelling older adults with sarcopenia
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | Kusunoki et al. | 2019 | Japan | BMC Geriatrics
Background Sarcopenia is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The indices of physical function, such as grip power and gait speed, decreased according to the decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Methods We examined the relationships between cystatin C-based GFR (eGFRcys), creatinine-based GFR (eGFRcre), their ratio (eGFRcys/eGFRcre) and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults in Japan. This cross-sectional study included 302 men aged 73.9±6.2 years and 647 women aged …
Relationship of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism with sarcopenia and muscle traits based on propensity score matching
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | Yao et al. | 2020 | China | J Clin Lab Anal
Abstract Background Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism is reported to be associated with muscle mass and muscle strength. Loss of skeletal muscle mass and decreased muscle strength are the main characteristics of sarcopenia. In this study, the relationship of VDR gene polymorphism with muscle traits (muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance) and sarcopenia were studied in Xinjiang, China. Methods Totally, 205 sarcopenia patients were enrolled. Propensity score method was used to match …
A six-week motor-driven functional electronic stimulation rowing program improves muscle strength and body composition in peopl
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | FFM, PBF | Kim D et al. | 2014 | Korea | Spinal Cord
Study design: Preclinical and postclinical intervention and outcomes measure design. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of six weeks of motor-driven functional electronic stimulation (FES) rowing exercise intervention on cardiopulmonary fitness, upper body strength and body composition in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: The National Rehabilitation Center in Korea. Methods: A total of 12 people with SCI (ten males, two females) participated in 42.5-minute training sessions on motor-driven FES rowing machine …
