Journal ArticleDOI

Skeletal muscle fat infiltration: impact of age, inactivity, and exercise.

TL;DR: Preliminary data suggesting that IMAT is associated with increasing age in individuals across disease states (r=0.47, p<0.05), and that resistance exercise can decrease IMAT in older individuals with a variety of co-morbid conditions are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-intensity resistance training amplifies muscle hypertrophy and functional gains in persons with Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: This is the first clinical trial to investigate and demonstrate the effects of eccentric resistance training on muscle hypertrophy, strength, and mobility in persons with PD and to compare the effects to a standard‐care control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total knee arthroplasty: muscle impairments, functional limitations, and recommended rehabilitation approaches.

TL;DR: This paper describes quadriceps muscle impairments and discusses how these impairments can contribute to the related functional limitations following TKA and provides recommendations and clinical guidelines based on the current available evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Barriers to Exercise in People With Parkinson Disease

TL;DR: Low outcome expectation from exercise, lack of time to exercise, and fear of falling appear to be important perceived barriers to engaging in exercise in people who have PD, are ambulatory, and dwell in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intramuscular Adipose Tissue, Sarcopenia, and Mobility Function in Older Individuals

TL;DR: Thigh IMAT, a newly identified muscle impairment appears to be a potent muscle variable related to the ability of older adults to move about in their community.
