Abstract:Background
The objective of this investigation is to evaluate the consistency of intra-rater and inter-rater assessments utilizing ultrasound elastography to examine the muscle stiffness of the popliteus and gastrocnemius (medial and lateral heads) in patients with knee osteoarthritis accompanied by myofascial trigger points.
Methods
Thirty individuals with knee osteoarthritis accompanied by myofascial trigger points were assessed. Two examiners in… Show more
