Abstract
The assessment of muscle quality (MQ) is of considerable relevance when investigating changes in muscle, fat and connective tissue composition associated with use, disuse and ageing. Recently, Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM) has been proposed as a non-invasive approach for the assessment of MQ in patients with neuromuscular disease (Rutkove et al., 2009) and in patients affected by disuse atrophy (Tarulli et al. 2009). The present study aimed at assessing MQ and fat content (FM) in a population of healthy young participants and evaluate the inter-day repeatability of EIM measures with a novel and portable device.
