Calculation of trunk muscle mass and trunk muscle quality indices for walking independence in Asian patients with hip fractures
This study aimed to investigate the association between trunk muscle mass and muscle quality, as evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and the ability to walk independently in patients with hip fractures. Cutoff values for quantitative and qualitative indicators of the trunk muscles were also calculated.
