Abstract
A non-uniform distribution of atrophy and size changes was found across knee extensors and flexors in patients with COPD. Further research is required to investigate the underlying mechanisms of regional morphologic abnormalities of the thigh muscles and the increased susceptibility of the knee extensors to atrophy-related anatomic anomalies in COPD.
