Ultrasound shear wave elastography is becoming a valuable tool for measuring mechanical
properties of individual muscles. Since ultrasound shear wave elastography measures …

Introduction: In this study we examine the repeatability of measuring muscle shear modulus
using ultrasound shear‐wave elastography between trials and between days, and the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has commonly been applied to determine tendon cross‐
sectional area (CSA) and length either to measure structural changes or to normalize …

Background Pocket-sized ultrasound devices are increasingly used in a variety of clinical
situations, and perform well against standard ultrasound machines. We sought to investigate …

Objectives Sonography of muscle architecture provides physicians and researchers with
information about muscle function and muscle‐related disorders. Inter‐rater reliability is a …

Ultrasound imaging is widely used to measure architectural features of human skeletal
muscles in vivo. We systematically reviewed studies of the reliability and validity of two …

The aims of the current study were 1) to evaluate the validity of the WIMU® system for
measuring hamstring muscle extensibility in the passive straight leg raise (PSLR) test using …

Following hamstring autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), muscle
length, cross‐sectional area, and volume are reduced. However, these discrete measures of …

Aim: The aim of this work was to evaluate the reliability of pSWE in assessing the stiffness of
the vastus medialis muscle and of the quadriceps and patellar tendons. Material and …

Obwohl es eine grundsätzliche Übereinkunft gibt, dass die sonografische Messung der
Sehnendicke ein fester Bestandteil der klinischen Untersuchung der Sehnen bei …
