Muscle ultrasound may be a useful tool in diagnosing later-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), according to a new study that compared the technique to physical examinations and electromyography (EMG) ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound device that can provide long-term, wireless monitoring of muscle activity with potential applications in ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound. In the future, these muscles could be deployed in technical and medical ...

While it might sound like a weapon of oceanic destruction in the hands of Aquaman’s arch enemies, the new “stingraybot” from a team at ETH Zurich (the Federal Institute of Technology of Switzerland) ...

A simple ultrasound of a patient's thigh or shoulder muscle may detect insulin resistance before it progresses to type 2 diabetes or even prediabetes. In a study, Michigan Medicine researchers ...

QMUS may serve as a reliable, non-invasive biomarker for monitoring DMD progression and functional status, addressing limitations of traditional assessments. Strong correlations were found between ...

Objectives Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is traditionally confirmed by intracompartmental pressure (ICP) measurement, but this test has been criticised. The aim of this study was to ...

Muscle injuries are among the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions in athletes, contributing significantly to morbidity and time lost from competition. The use of ultrasound (US) is advantageous ...

Increased muscle echo intensity effectively identifies insulin resistance and impaired insulin sensitivity. (HealthDay News) — Muscle ultrasound can detect insulin resistance and lower muscle mass, ...

Researchers have developed a compact, wearable ultrasound device that monitors muscle activity. Attachable to the skin with an adhesive and powered by a small battery, the device wirelessly captures ...
