Neuromuscular Assessments of Form and Function

ISBN-13: 9781071633144 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023

Opis

This volume looks at the latest methods used to study imaging techniques, metabolic tracing, and deep muscle phenotyping. The chapters in this book cover topics such as imaging skeletal muscle mass using MRI, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, CT, and ultrasound; measures of neuromuscular function such as power/strength/force; microscopy and immunohistochemistry; and ex vivo fibre function and isolation. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.

Comprehensive and thorough, Neuromuscular Assessments of Form and Function is a valuable resource for researchers interested in multiple methods used to study skeletal muscle neurophysiology.
