KoreaMed Synapse - Comparison of the circumference, skinfold thickness and leg strength of normal limb with those of casted limb following removal of leg cast

This article is a general translation of a Korean study on a leg before and after being casted. The results generally follow that skinfold thickness and leg strength lessen, although the article does delve into exact numbers and quantitative data.

The study used several measurements to gauge the results. The study of the circumference, skinfold thickness, and leg strength of the casted leg and normal leg resulted in the confirmation of a decrease in all three areas. However, I'm surprised the duration of the cast did not cause much of a difference. I wonder if there are any studies on surgical procedures like joint replacement or amputation.
