“…Only a small number of studies based on the elastographic assessment of muscle stiffness and indicating the potential application of the method are present in the literature [30,32]. These initial studies were experimental in design and were performed in laboratory conditions using un-ergonomic machines.…”

“…These initial studies were experimental in design and were performed in laboratory conditions using un-ergonomic machines. In these studies, US elastographic considerations of the changes in muscle stiffness following different circumstances, such as eccentric exercise [30] or passive stretching [32], were analyzed. These investigations were commonly focused on a single-static condition, rather than analyzing dynamic and versatile aspects.…”

Aims: To evaluate the feasibility of quantitative analysis of muscle stiffness by Acoustic Radiation Forced Impulse (ARFI) elastography over a course of graduate isometric voluntary contractions. Material and methods: The stiffness of the bilateral biceps muscle of 13 healthy volunteers was measured in real time by ARFI elastography, while the forearm was in neutralextended position, 90 degree self-flexed positions and 90 degree self-flexed position, with altered weights ranging from 1 to 8 kg placed on flattened palmar surfaces consecutively. The determined increases in biceps muscle stiffness were measured for both arms and correlated with the loadings weights adopted at progressive trial stages. Results: The mean shear wave velocity (SWV) values of biceps muscles in a neutral position, in 90 degree flex position and 90 degree flex position with 1 to 8 kg weights on palmar surfaces were 2.162±0.302 m/sec, 3.382±0.581 m/sec, and 3.897±0.585 to 5.562±0.587 m/sec, respectively. Significant correlations between the muscle SWV values and related palmar weights and between the SWV values of right and left sides at different trial stages were identified (r=0.951 and r=0.954, respectively). A mutual propagation path of deep regions to entire areas was described to account for the distribution of increase in stiffness with increases in palmar weights. The confidence of method regarding inter-observer difference was confirmed by the correlation analyses of the results (r=0.998). Conclusions: ARFI elastography is a feasible imaging modality for quantifying the stiffness of isometrically voluntarily contracting muscles.Keywords: Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse, elastography, muscle stiffness Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) elastography quantification of muscle stiffness over a course of gradual isometric contractions: a preliminary study.

“…With the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior of fresh roaster chickens, Koo et al (2013) have reported a linear relationship between the shear modulus measured by ultrasound shear wave elastography and passive muscle force. Human experiments took advantage of this technique to detect the slack angle on the medial gastrocnemius (MG) (Maïsetti et al, 2012), biceps brachii Lacourpaille et al, 2014), and tibialis anterior (Koo et al, 2014). To the best of our knowledge, so far only Lacourpaille et al (2013) have compared the slack angles among synergistic muscles.…”

“…Another important issue is the reliability of the E values. Most of the available data refers to intrasession measures and are satisfactory: r= 0.978 7 , r= 0.942-0.970 12 , 0.882-0.970 13 . On the other hand, intersession measures are less available 7 generally result in lower reliability probably because both methodological and physiological variations.…”

SummaryBackground: Supersonic Shear Imaging (SSI) is a technique which analyses quantitatively the tissue properties in real time. The relation between joint torque and Young's modulus (E) of the agonist muscles is important for obtaining stratification values and ranges of normality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intra and intersessions reliability of the E values of the Achilles tendon and medial gastrocnemius muscle, bilaterally, during rest, and correlate them with the isometric plantarflexion peak torque.
