Mapping of lumbar multifidus stiffness Quantification in ankylosing spondylitis with shear-wave elastography

Abstract Background Lower back pain and stiffness are the typical symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In this study, muscle mass was assessed by muscle density, mechanical elasticity, and area. We investigated the characteristics of lumbar paraspinal-muscle (PSM) mass using muscle ultrasound sh...
