Abstract Purpose of Review Although ultrasound (US) imaging is commonly used to
evaluate the elbow medial ulnar collateral ligament (mUCL) in throwing athletes, significant …

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

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is emerging as an innovative tool to evaluate muscle
properties and function. It has been shown to correlate with both passive and active muscle …

The multifidus is an important muscle for the active stabilization of the spine. Unfortunately,
clinical procedures such as posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) and radio frequency neurotomy …

Multifidus function is important for active stabilization of the spine, but it can be compromised
in patients with chronic low back pain and other spine pathologies. Force production and …

Background The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is a commonly injured elbow stabilizer
during throwing. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a technique that may reveal structural …

Simple Summary Osteoarthritis of fore fetlock in horses is a common disorder that causes
owners to complain. It leads to changes in periarticular soft tissue composition. Diagnosis is …

Background The flexor pronator muscles (FPMs) have been thought as a dynamic stabilizer
to protect the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) from valgus stress during throwing motion …

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is an exercise-induced condition, in
which high pressure develops in one or several lower leg compartments, resulting in pain …

The anterior band of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is commonly subjected to repetitive
stress in overhead-throwing athletes, causing high subfailure strain and change in …
