Summary
Muscle ultrasound offers a reliable and validated means to evaluate both the size and quality of muscle tissue, making it a valuable tool for:
Diagnosing sarcopenia:
a condition characterized by age-related muscle loss that can lead to frailty and disability.
Predicting health-related outcomes:
muscle health is linked to various aspects of health, including physical function, metabolic health, and overall longevity.
Integrating muscle ultrasound into educational programs for clinicians will equip them with this valuable tool for assessing patient muscle health, ultimately improving diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient outcomes.
