Abstract

This study aims to comparison of ultrasonography on both sides of the upper arm of hemiplegic patient. The biceps brachii and deltoid muscle of ten subjects(4 men, 6 women) with stroke were scanned with ultrasonography at the muscle belly at rest at elbow angles of 90 deg. The echogenicity(densit, white area index; WAI) and muscle thickness of ultrasonography was examined using real-time B-mode ultrasonography with 7.5 MHz linear-array prob. In the biceps brachii muscle, MHz there were significant differences of thickness, density, and WAI between affected side and non-affected side. In the deltoid muscle, there were significant differences of thickness, density, and WAI between affected side and non-affected side. Both of the muscles, thickness of the affected side was thin than non-affected side and echogenicity(density, WAI) of the affected side was higher than non-affected side. This study showed that change of skeletal muscle architecture properties occurred in the upper arm of the affected side muscle of hemiplegic patient.
