• 1 other identifier: H1458067703008
• Study Type: observational
• Target: N/A
• Locations: 0 countries

Brief Summary

No previous studies have compared the association between muscle thickness (MT) and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) in healthy volunteers. The main aim of this study is to investigate the validity of ultrasound in assessing the muscle thickness of hamstrings muscle. Study design: A cross-sectional-validity study. Setting: University Participants: X football players of an amateur football team (X healthy volunteers and X patients with a previous hamstring injury).

Conditions

Muscle Injury; Muscle Atrophy

Keywords

hamstring; ultrasonography; validation; magnetic resonance imaging; muscle thickness
