“…The reliability of the SWE for assessing muscle stiffness has been shown to be good or excellent for several muscle groups, including lower limb [5,11,12,14], trunk [4,10] and upper limb muscles [3,[6][7][8][9]. It has been suggested that SWE could also be used to monitor muscle activity [9,12,15,16]. Namely, strong withinindividual associations were shown between shear modulus values and muscle activity or muscle force [9,12,15].…”
