Sound touch viscosity in the evaluation of median nerve in healthy volunteers—a preliminary study
STVi is a feasible and reproducible modality for quantifying median nerve viscoelasticity. Viscoelastic parameters vary significantly by anatomical location and sex, with no influence from age and BMI. These findings establish normative values and support the clinical applicability of Sound Touch Viscosity in peripheral nerve assessment.
