Response to: "The use of ultrasound for the estimation of muscle mass: one site fits most?"

Nijholt, Willemke; Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing); Scafoglieri, Aldo; Hobbelen, Hans (Ageing And Allied Health Care); van der Schans, Cees

The performance of neural electrodes in physiological fluid, especially in chronic use, is critical for the success of functional electrical stimulation devices. Tips of the Utah electrode arrays (UEAs) were coated with sputtered iridium oxide film (SIROF) and activated iridium oxide film (AIROF) to …

Agreement between rectus femoris muscle thickness by ultrasound and skeletal muscle mass by bio-electrical impedance analysis: a pilot study

Nijholt, Willemke; Sealy, Martine (Healthy Ageing, Allied Health Care And Nursing); van der Schans, Cees; Hobbelen, Hans (Ageing And Allied Health Care); Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing); Rodenburg, Iris

Rationale: Sarcopenia is a major problem and is common in community-dwelling elderly. In daily practice, there is need for low cost and easily assessable measurement tools to assess depletion of skeletal muscle (SM) mass, for example as one of the indicators of sarcopenia. Bio-electrical impedance analysis …

Intra- and inter-rater reliability of biceps thickness assessment by ultrasound in elderly

Pinho, João Pedro; Azevedo, Rita; Rocha, Paula; Silveira, Joana; Nijholt, Willemke; Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing)

Rationale: Although ultrasound has been reported as valid and reliable tool to assess muscle size in older adults1, little is known about intra-rater reliability (intra-RR) and inter-rater reliability (inter-RR) of BodyMetrix in specific to assess small muscles. Therefore, in this study we aimed to assess …

The reliability and validity of ultrasound to quantify muscles in older adults

Nijholt, Willemke; Scafoglieri, Aldo; Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing); Hobbelen, Hans (Ageing And Allied Health Care); van der Schans, Cees P

This review evaluates the reliability and validity of ultrasound to quantify muscles in older adults. The databases PubMed, Cochrane, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature were systematically searched for studies. In 17 studies, the reliability (n = 13) and validity (n = 8) of …
