Description
Hyunbin Kim and co-authors reviewed digital markers for sarcopenia in 2026, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Standard diagnosis uses grip strength, walking speed, and scan-based muscle mass, but these are episodic, partly subjective, and blind to muscle quality. Digital tools promise continuous, real-world tracking.
Smart watches, smart insoles, muscle signal sensors, and camera-based motion analysis can record strength, activity, coordination, and fatigue day by day. Imaging joined with learning models adds automatic muscle measurement and personal digital twins for surgery and rehab planning. Challenges remain: shared protocols, device compatibility, ease of use for older patients, and data security. Formal diagnostic use awaits large validation studies.
