[Participants and Methods] Basic information, body composition, motor function, respiratory function, and respiratory muscle strength were analyzed for 43 elderly community residents who participated in a health promotion program between 2021 and 2023. Respiratory sarcopenia and respiratory muscle weakness were evaluated based on maximal intraoral pressure and skeletal muscle index. We conducted a comparison among the three groups-respiratory sarcopenia, respiratory muscle weakness, and robustness. [Results] The respiratory sarcopenia group tended to have lower trunk muscle mass compared to the robust group and had significantly lower trunk muscle mass than the respiratory muscle weakness group. The incidence of systemic sarcopenia was significantly higher in the respiratory sarcopenia group than in the other two groups. [Conclusion] These results indicate that respiratory sarcopenia may be associated with the loss of limb muscle mass observed in patients with systemic sarcopenia and a reduction in trunk muscle mass. The risk factors influencing the prognosis of respiratory sarcopenia may vary depending on the method used to assess respiratory muscle weakness. This study provides the foundational data for future research on respiratory sarcopenia.","PeriodicalId":16834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Therapy Science","volume":"36 10","pages":"603-608"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11441900/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142361703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gastrocnemius muscle was the target of both NMES and static stretching.

Improvements in DFA were similar between the groups; however, improvements in FFD were significantly greater in Group S. PFS showed no significant interaction between the group and the time factor.

Despite targeting the gastrocnemius muscle, the observed improvement in hamstring flexibility may have been because of fascial connections.

These measures were analyzed separately for each gender to assess gender-related differences.
