Objective Utilizing shear wave elastography, we compared the stiffness of the neck extensor
muscles and the stiffness in muscle-specific regions between women with chronic …

Delayed onset of muscle activation can be a descriptor of impaired motor control. Activation
onset can be estimated from electromyography (EMG)-registered muscle excitation and from …

The effect of greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) on gluteus medius (GMed) and
minimus (GMin) activation in post-menopausal women is unknown. The aim of this study …

Objective: M-mode ultrasound imaging (US) reflects the motion of connective tissue within
muscles. The objectives of this study were to evaluate inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of …

M-mode ultrasound is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing muscle activity. However,
it has not been studied in any of the muscles belonging to the shoulder joint complex …

The quadriceps femoris muscle (QF) is of clinical importance since it has been correlated
with pathologies at knee level, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, pain …

Introduction: Physical activity is a proposed factor in the development of hip pathologies in
males and females. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is useful for muscle strengthening and for
motor restoration of stroke patients. Using a portable ultrasound instrument, we developed …
