German term or phrase: Muskelbemantelung
Betrachtung des linken Beines:

Altersentsprechende Muskelbemantelung, im Vergleich zur Gegenseite keine Verschmächtigung.

English translation:Musculature
Explanation:
I think this might simply be musculature. The Verschmächtigung might be 'wasting', which is often seen in leg muscles more on one side than the other. So in this situation, the report would read:

"Observation of the left leg:

Musculature consistent with age. No wasting compared to right side".

Might do the trick.

HTH :)

Explanation:
This is the term I have heard more frequently than "musculature" in US hospitals.
But the above answer is correct, too.
