Combined Assessment of Body Composition and Neuromuscular Performance in Clinical Practice

The assessment of body composition and neuromuscular performance provides valuable information for the clinical management of athletes and diverse patient ...

<p class="jove_content">The procedures for body size, shape, and composition assessment through commercially available solutions for three-dimensional optical imaging enable the rapid collection of accurate and reproducible data. Clinicians could implement the acquisition of innovative and useful biomarkers (&#34;e-tape&#34; measurements) in routine evaluations of patients to assist in characterizing&#160;their health status.</p>
