Skeletal Muscle Echo Intensity Values Differ Significantly across Ultrasound Parameter Settings

Scafoglieri, Aldo; Van den Broeck, Jona; Bartocci, Paolo; Cattrysse, Erik; Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Healthy Ageing, Allied Health Care And Nursing); Gonzalez, Maria Cristina

Echo intensity determined by muscle ultrasound has been proposed as an efficient method for the assessment of muscle quality. The influence of changing ultrasound parameter settings on echo intensity values was assessed using a standardized approach. In this repeated measures cross-sectional study, sixteen …

Reliability and validity of ultrasound to estimate muscles

Nijholt, Willemke; Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing); Raj, Isaac S.; van der Schans, Cees P. (Healthy Ageing, Allied Health Care And Nursing); Hobbelen, Hans (Healthy Ageing, Allied Health Care And Nursing)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability and validity of ultrasound for two commonly used types of transducer, using different methods for the estimation of muscle size and echo intensity (EI). METHODS: Fourteen healthy adults were included in this study. Ultrasound images …

Quantitative ultrasound of the tongue and submental muscles in children and young adults

Lenie van den Engel-Hoek; S. Pillen; Maarten de Groot; Bert de Swart; N. van Alfen

The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS) to visualize oral muscles and to establish normative data for muscle thickness and echo intensity of submental and tongue muscles in healthy children and young adults. The data were compared with those of …

Oral muscles are progressively affected in Duchenne muscular dystrophy : Implications for dysphagia treatment

Bert de Swart; W. Klein; Lenie van den Engel-Hoek; S. Pillen; J.C.M. Hendriks; Alexander Geurts; Maarten de Groot; L. Sie; C. Erasmus

Dysphagia is reported in advanced stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The population of DMD is changing due to an increasing survival. We aimed to describe the dysphagia in consecutive stages and to assess the underlying mechanisms of dysphagia in DMD, in order to develop mechanism based recommendations …
