Ultrasound 2-D shear wave elastography (US 2D-SWE) is a non-invasive, cost-effective tool
for quantifying tissue stiffness. Amidst growing interest in US 2D-SWE for musculoskeletal …

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of using a vibration foam roll
(VFR) or a non-vibration foam roll (NVFR) on maximum voluntary isometric contraction peak …

Developing methods for the non-invasive characterization of the mechanics of
musculoskeletal tissues is an ongoing research focus in biomechanics. Often, these …

Objectives (1) To determine the association between patellar tendon stiffness and the
presence of patellar tendinopathy (PT).(2) To evaluate the reliability of shear-wave …

Deficits in the flexibility of the quadriceps are one of the risk factors for developing knee joint
disorders. No studies have investigated the changes in the stiffness of the quadriceps …

MSK ultrasound is a valuable imaging technique which has become increasingly popular in
recent years. This efficient technique proves beneficial in a variety of ways. MSK ultrasound …

This study aimed to assess intra-rater (intra-session and inter-day) reliability and influence of
side dominance and the scapular resting position on the shear modulus (an index of …

Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides
estimates of tissue stiffness via shear-wave speed measurements. No standardized protocol …

Purpose To determine whether stiffness of the patellar tendon and quadriceps muscles is
altered immediately after and 48 h after a single bout of maximal eccentric exercise of the …

Purpose Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are common and are frequently
reconstructed using a patellar tendon (PT) autograft. Unfortunately, the time course of PT …
