Ultrasound shear wave elastography to assess neck somatic dysfunction and OMT effects
The SWV in longitudinal muscles shows a positive correlation with neck somatic dysfunction, demonstrating moderate diagnostic accuracy and strong observer reliability. Application of OMT significantly decreases muscle stiffness measured by SWV, providing an objective and quantitative method to assess the effectiveness of OMT.
