ULTRASOUND ELASTOGRAPHY OF MUSCLES IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY

Ultrasound elastography (UE) has become a popular non-invasive imaging technique for determining the elasticity and stiffness of muscles. Its effectiveness in children with cerebral palsy (CP), a population that typically displays changed muscle characteristics due to stiffness and other neuromuscular problems, is assessed in this review. The main studies, approaches, and conclusions are compiled to clarify the research and therapeutic uses of UE in the treatment of cerebral palsy. The assessment also identifies shortcomings and potential avenues for future study, highlighting the necessity of more extensive and standardised procedures. This comprehensive evaluation provides detailed information in tabular formats and goes deeper into diagnostic principles, therapeutic monitoring, and comparative advantages.
