Anthropometric prediction of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area in persons with spinal cord injury
Abstract
Finding an accurate and affordable method to quantify muscle size following spinal cord injury (SCI) could provide benefits clinically and in research settings. The purpose of this study was to validate the use of anthropometric measurements vs. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and develop a field equation to predict muscle CSA specific to the SCI population. Twenty-two men with chronic (>1 yr) motor complete SCI participated in the current study. Anthropometric measurements, including midthigh circumference and anterior skinfold thickness (SF T ), were taken on the right thigh. The anthropometric muscle cross-sectional area (muscle CSA anthro ) was predicted using the following equation: muscle CSA anthro = π[ r - (SF T /2)] 2 , where r = thigh circumference/2π. MRI analysis yielded whole thigh CSA (thigh CSA MRI ), midthigh muscle CSA (muscle CSA MRI ), midthigh absolute muscle CSA after subtracting intramuscular fat and bone (muscle CSA-IMF MRI ), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT T ) measured at one site as well as at four sites, and bone CSA. Anthropometric measurements were correlated to the thigh CSA MRI [ r 2 = 0.90, standard error of the estimate (SEE) = 17.6 cm 2 , P anthro was correlated to muscle CSA MRI ( r 2 = 0.78, SEE = 16.6 cm 2 , P MRI ( r 2 = 0.75, SEE = 17.6 cm 2 , P T was correlated to the polar four-site SAT T ( r 2 = 0.78, SEE = 0.37 cm, P predicted = π[(Thigh circum /2π) - (SF T /2)] 2 - 23.2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
