Association Between Temporal Muscle Thickness and Skeletal Muscle Mass, Nutritional Status, and Physical Function in Patients With Post-stroke Hemiparesis: A Cross-Sectional Study
S. Terui, M. Maruyama, et al.
Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) on brain MRI reliably reflects muscle mass, muscle quality, nutritional status, and lower-limb motor function in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis—findings from a cross-sectional study conducted by Shunmei Terui, Motoki Maruyama, Manabu Horikawa, Emi Oku, Yusei Kiyota, Masahiro Sasaki, and Hiroaki Shimizu. High inter-rater reliability and correlations with SMI, PhA, GNRI, and SIAS-MLE highlight TMT’s promise as a practical sarcopenia screening marker—listen to the study’s insights now.
