Validity of Elastic Imaging Evaluation of Hamstring Muscles With Knee Contracture Using Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography
SWE can be used to estimate Young's moduli of hamstring muscles with contractures. Muscle specimens with contractures exhibited higher resistance to elongation, thereby indicating that their mechanical properties differed from those of muscles without contractures.
