From the anatomic and functional points of view, the thigh can be divided in three main regions: anterior, medial and posterior.

Muscle strength measurements and functional outcome of an untreated complete distal rectus femoris muscle tear A 46-year-old sustained an injury to his right thigh while skiing. He sought medical advice after 6weeks, presenting a palpable painful mass of his anterior proximal thigh but no functional...
Results Muscle involvement is predominantly bilaterally symmetric and involves anterior, posterior as well as medial compartments of the thigh. Diffuse intramuscular hyperintensity on T2-weighted images is a common pattern of involvement. Isolated myofascial involvement or muscular with myofascial involvement ...
Osteocalcin, in its non-carboxylated form, has a positive effect on glucose metabolism. Additionally, osteocalcin levels are related to body composition, especially muscle mass. The relation to the distribution of different adipose tissue types, such as
However, we could not find a significant improvement of muscle strength prediction for the flexor muscles, which could have various explanations. In this context, differences between the two compartments regarding anatomy, such as number of involved joints (quadriceps: one joint vs. ischiocrural ...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with loss of muscle strength [1]. The lesion-side was the weaker side as compared with the other side in movement [1]. PD-related weakness has also been linked to the duration and severity of PD [2]. It can be surmise...
While individual muscle segmentation may seem beneficial compared to segmentation of the entire muscle or its compartments, as conducted in our study, it carries computational implications that should not be disregarded. Moreover, the greater number of segmentations resulting from this approach may ...
