Sarcopenia: Imaging Assessment and Clinical Application

Sarcopenia: imaging assessment and clinical application

Sarcopenia is a progressive, generalized skeletal muscle disorder characterized by reduction of muscle mass and strength. It is associated with increased a

A team of researchers has developed a procedure that detects early muscular and functional decline in older people, a simple and objective way to measure how abilities change with aging based on such a simple gesture.

A new method developed at the University of Granada allows us to anticipate muscle decline in older people from a simple daily gesture: sit down and get up from a chair. A team of researchers from the UGR has designed an innovative method to evaluate neuromuscular performance in people over 60 years of age and to detect early muscle and functional deterioration in older people, a population especially vulnerable to loss of functionality and seri…
