Assessment of the mechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit by supersonic shear wave imaging elastography: a review

This review aimed to describe the state of the art in muscle-tendon unit (MTU) assessment by supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) elastography in states of muscle contraction and stretching, during aging, and in response to injury and therapeutic interventions. A consensus exists that MTU elasticity...
