Validation of Anthropometric Muscle Cross-Sectional Area Equation after Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract The purposes of this study were to cross-validate a previously derived anthropometric estimation equation specific to the spinal cord injury population and determine the ratios of absolute skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and adductor muscle groups...

Description
Summary:Abstract The purposes of this study were to cross-validate a previously derived anthropometric estimation equation specific to the spinal cord injury population and determine the ratios of absolute skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and adductor muscle groups based on magnetic resonance imaging. The validation cohort consisted of eleven men with chronic (>1 yr. post injury) spinal cord injury (SCI). Ten individuals were classified as AIS A or B and one participant was classified as an AIS C. Significant correlations were found between the anthropometrically predicted CSAs and MRI-derived CSAs for the whole muscle including bone and intramuscular fat (r 2 =0.72, SEE=10.6 cm 2 , P
