Stiffness of individual quadriceps muscle assessed using ultrasound shear wave elastography during passive stretching

BACKGROUND: Until recently it has not been possible to isolate the mechanical behavior of individual muscles during passive stretching. Muscle shear modulus (an index of muscle stiffness) measured using ultrasound shear wave elastography can be used to estimate changes in stiffness of an individual...
