Quantifying spasticity in individual muscles using shear wave elastography

Quantifying spasticity in individual muscles using shear wave elastography

Spasticity is common following stroke; however, high subject variability and unreliable measurement techniques limit research and treatment advances. Our objective was to investigate the use of shear wave elastography (SWE) to characterize the spastic reflex in the biceps brachii during passive elbo...
