Summary: Recent advances in ultrasound imaging open new prospects for the non-invasive assessment of muscle structure and function. We particularly focus on the potential of these approaches for the diagnosis and the monitoring of diaphragm dysfunction within the intensive care unit and in chronic disorders. I will also present new approaches based on the study of the electrical properties of biological tissues for quantifying regional muscle volume in patients with muscle wasting and degeneration.

Biography : Damien Bachasson works at the crossroad between muscle physiology (respiratory and locomotor), exercise physiology, bioengineering, and rehabilitation sciences. His main current research topics are: methodological and technological developments for the characterization of muscle structure and function (e.g. multiparametric ultrasound imaging, bioelectrical impedance), primary and secondary muscle impairments induced by chronic disorders (e.g. neuromuscular and respiratory disorders) or critical illness, exercise-based interventions and augmentation devices in neuromuscular disorders.  Visit his webpage for more details (https://damienbachasson.netlify.app).
