Muscles with inconsistent ultrasound presets or missing EMG data were excluded. Texture parameters encompassed grayscale level histograms, second\u2010order features (contrast, entropy, correlation), and higher\u2010order features (short\u2010run frequency and gray\u2010level distribution, local entropy). EMG data included motor unit size index (SI), polyphasia, recruitment, and the presence of active denervation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We analyzed 156 muscles from 64 individuals (median age 55\u2009years [IQR 45\u201369], 51% female).
