Quantifying the Changes of Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Paralyzed Muscle in Survivors With Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Background: Survivors with spinal cord injury (SCI) have neuromuscular deficits such as muscle atrophy that lead to functional impairments. This study utilized myotonometry and electrical impedance myography (EIM) to quantitatively evaluate the changes in muscle mechanical properties and composition...
