The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability of four methods of assessing vastus
lateralis (VL) stiffness, and to describe the influence of structural characteristics on them. The …

Objective The aim of our study was to define and compare the mechanical properties of the
vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis obliquus muscles (VMO) by the way of quantitative …

Purpose The assessment of muscle architecture with B-mode ultrasound is an established
method in muscle physiology and mechanics. There are several manual, semi-automated …

Tensiomyography (TMG) is a relatively novel technique to assess muscle mechanical
response based on radial muscle belly displacement consecutive to a single electrical …

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 …

Previously, a novel technique was proposed to quantify the relationship between the muscle
stiffness and its nonfatigue contraction intensity. The method extended the measured range …

Objective quantification of muscle size can aid clinical assessment when treating
musculoskeletal conditions. To date the gold standard of measuring muscle morphology is …

Purpose The stiffness of muscle-tendon units and of tendons in the lower legs plays
important roles in sprinting and long-distance running. However, the association of muscle …

Introduction Due to the potential for intramuscular fluid shifts from changing body position,
researchers often utilize a 10‐to 15‐min period of supine rest as a standardizing procedure …
