Changes in joint angle, muscle-tendon complex length, muscle contractile tissue displacement, and modulation of EMG activity during acute whole-body vibration.

30 Aug 2009 It has been suggested that vibration causes small changes in muscle length, but to the best of our knowledge, these have yet to be demonstrated during whole-body vibration (WBV). This was an observational study to determine whether acute WBV would ... Read more...

Ultrasound in the evaluation of the inflammatory myopathies.

30 Jul 2009 The lack of precise measures of disease activity may complicate the care of patients with inflammatory myopathies (IM). Techniques currently available to physicians in practice rely on measurement of function, strength, laboratory indices, muscle ... Read more...

Needle length for immunization of early adolescents as determined by ultrasound.

25 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the appropriate needle length for intramuscular injection of vaccines to early adolescents by measuring muscle depth at the deltoid injection site. METHODS: Students from Nassau County, New York, and patients attending an ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Muscle, Skeletal'

Definition: A subtype of striated muscle, attached by TENDONS to the SKELETON. Skeletal muscles are innervated and their movement can be consciously controlled. They are also called voluntary muscles.
