Abstract:PurposeThe aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of ultrasound probe mechanical pressure on the stiffness of the gastrocnemius muscle in a healthy paediatric population. As far as we know, there has been no previous qualitative in vivo study on the impact of probe pressure on muscle shear-wave elastography results with objective evaluation of compression in the paediatric population.Material and methodsIn this cohort study, a group of 22 children (mean age 8.99 years, SD 2.74, 11 males) underwent elastogr… Show more
