- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary outcomes were a change in the muscle cross-sectional area and muscle thickness from baseline to after 2 weeks, as measured using real-time B-mode ultrasonography with a 50mm 8MHz linear probe. During the ultrasonography, the participants were in a supine position with their knees extended at 0 degree and muscles relaxed. Four ultrasonography images were recorded at 50% on the line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the upper region of the patella of rectus femoris, vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius, and at 80% on the line between the anterior superior iliac spine and the joint space in front of the anterior border of the medial ligament of vastus medialis. Muscle thickness was calculated as the length between the deep aponeurosis and surface aponeurosis at 3 different points in the image. The mean thickness was calculated in each ultrasonography image.
