INTRODUCTION
The muscle ultrasound examination (MUS) is a noninvasive and inexpensive technique for evaluating neuromyopathies. Standardized MUS normative data are incomplete in pediatric subjects.
METHODS
We performed a MUS study with 120 healthy children (59 males; mean age, 10.44 years; age range, 2-16 years). We measured the width and the echogenicity bilaterally in the following muscles: biceps brachii and brachialis, brachioradialis, forearm-flexors, rectus femoris and vastus intermedius, tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, lateral and medial gastrocnemius.
RESULTS
The muscle thickness increased with age for all muscles. Confidence limits were set for each age group muscle width. Echogenicity increased with age only in some muscles.
DISCUSSIONS
Our MUS study provides new data on physiological muscle structural changes in healthy children to address the limited available references in this age group. Muscle Nerve 58: 245-250, 2018.
简介
肌肉超声检查（MUS）是一种用于评估神经肌肉疾病的非侵入性且廉价的技术。儿科患者的 MUS 规范化数据并不完整。
方法
我们对 120 名健康儿童（59 名男性；平均年龄 10.44 岁；年龄范围 2-16 岁）进行了 MUS 研究。我们分别对双侧肱二头肌和肱肌、肱桡肌、前臂伸肌、股四头肌和股中间肌、胫骨前肌、伸趾长肌、外侧和内侧比目鱼肌进行了测量。
结果
所有肌肉的厚度均随年龄增长而增加。我们为每个年龄组的肌肉宽度设定了置信区间。仅在某些肌肉中，肌肉回声随年龄增加而增加。
讨论
我们的 MUS 研究为健康儿童的肌肉结构的生理变化提供了新的数据，以解决该年龄组中有限的现有参考资料。《神经肌肉疾病》58：245-250，2018 年。
