“…The most common finding on MRI is enlargement and increased signal in the area of insertion of the supraspinatus tendon over the greater tubercle of the humerus on T2 Weighted Image (T2-W) and STIR sequences (10,32). Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasonography is a relatively new technique that has been used and validated for the diagnosis of ST in both humans and dogs (8,(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). Musculoskeletal ultrasound provides a non-invasive definitive diagnosis of ST, and allows for facile and cost-effective sequential exams to assess response to treatment (8,(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40).…”

“…The between day comparisons of day-1 and day-2 also had a strong correlation for CSA (r: 0.89, p < .0001) with a bias of 0.64 mm 2 ± 0.84 mm 2 and limits of agreement between -1.0 mm 2 to 2.28 mm 2 for submaximal forces of 10%-80% MVC. Similarly the average elongation between days did not differ and had a strong and significant correlation (p < .0001; r: 0.944) with a bias of -0.64 mm ± 1.3 mm and limits of agreement between -3.22 mm and 1.95 mm (see Figure 4A, B).…”

“…[1,2] As with any imaging technique used to visualize and quantify in vivo structures, it is important to know the tendon reliability and repeatability of measures obtained with the technology. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the goldstandard of imaging, ultrasonography allows for real-time assessment of structures under dynamic conditions.…”

Objective: Examine the repeatability of ultrasound imaging for capturing cross sectional area (CSA), tendon length and elongation of the distal biceps brachii (dBB) tendon at rest and during submaximal elbow flexion contractions. The secondary purpose was to assess the influence of these architectural measures on tendon mechanics of stress and strain. Methods: Within a testing session and between two days CSA, tendon length and elongation of the dBB were captured with ultrasound. Measures were compared within a session and between days. Pearson's correlations were performed to determine the intra-class correlation coefficients. Bland and Altman plots were used to identify the agreement between measures as well as the bias in measurements. Paired T-test were performed to ensure the calculated variables did not differ between days. Results: Resting tendon CSA was repeatable and strongly correlated (r = 0.98) within a session and between days; however, modest differences were observed in resting tendon length between days (∼1.8 mm) although values were correlated (r = 0.98). During submaximal contractions of 10%-80% maximal tendon elongation (r = 0.83) and CSA (r = 0.98) were also repeatable. From the measures of elongation and CSA, the calculated values of tendon strain (r = 0.97) and stress (r = 0.96) were also repeatable. Conclusions: Elongation and CSA of the dBB tendon captured with ultrasound are repeatable between testing sessions. From these measures tendon mechanics can be calculated to define the tendon's role in upper limb tasks, long-term adaptation and diagnostics.

“…Asymptomatic non-elite junior tennis players reported 15% of minor shoulder abnormalities on dominant shoulder [6,9]. In veterans tennis players supraspinatus injuries have been observed on the dominant shoulder and were found to be related to ageing [10,11]. In wheelchair tennis players supraspinatus degeneration has mainly been identified as a high risk factor for further injuries on the dominant shoulder [12].…”
