Abstract Background/Objective: Differences in soft-tissue stiffness may provide for a
quantitative assessment and detection technique for pressure ulcers or deep-tissue injury …

Background: Alterations in the normal force-displacement (FD) properties of spinal tissues
have been associated with specific forms of pathology, such as degenerative disk disease …

Introduction Evaluation of nerve mechanical properties has the potential to improve
assessment of nerve impairment. Shear wave velocity, as measured by using shear wave …

Study Design. The diagnostic performance of a newly described variable was assessed in
an in vivo model of disc degeneration using a split-pair experimental design. Objective. To …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography has become a promising method in peripheral
neuropathy evaluation. Shear wave velocity, a surrogate measure of stiffness, tends to …

Peripheral nerve disorders are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Electrodiagnostic
studies remain the cornerstone of the evaluation of nerve disorders. More recently …

Purpose Pressure ulcers are localized injuries to the skin or underlying tissues over a bony
prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. Ultrasound …

Technologies for soft tissue analysis are advancing at a rapid place. For instance,
elastography, which provides soft tissue strain images, is starting to be tried in clinical …

Objective. To validate an ultrasound-based technique which quantifies uni-planar
subcutaneous displacement of an osseous object resulting from an externally applied load …

This scoping review of shear wave elastography (SWE) articles in musculoskeletal soft
tissue and nerve research demonstrates methodological heterogeneity resulting from a lack …
