Development of Predictive Equations to Estimate Regional Muscle Cross Sectional Area Based on Anthropometry

By

SUMMARY Background. Muscle hypertrophy is one of the main goals of resistance training and is frequently associated with an increase in muscle cross-sectional area (CSA). Imaging techniques are valid and reliable techniques for measuring CSA but are inaccessible to most professionals. Anthropometric-based multiple regression equations (i.e. using circumference and skinfolds outcomes) have been proposed to … Continued

Association between Carpal Tunnel Cross-Sectional Area and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

By

SUMMARY Background. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent peripheral compressive neuropathy. In addition to an enlargement of the median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA), the carpal tunnel CSA may be a determinant of CTS. However, the findings of studies assessing the association between carpal tunnel CSA and CTS are very limited and inconclusive. Purpose. The … Continued

Three-Dimensional Silicon Mold Analysis of the Carpal Tunnel: A Morphometric Study in Human Cadavers

By

SUMMARY Purpose. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common entrapment neuropathy with an incidence rate of 6%. The significance of carpal tunnel shape and dimensions in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome has long been debated. Recent studies have exam­ined the accuracy of previous morphometric studies, as the reported dimensions have conflicting results. The purpose of this … Continued
