Effects of acute cervical stretching on arterial wall elastic properties
Purpose: Acute (immediate) or regular (mid- or long-term) stretching increases arterial compliance and reduces arterial stiffness. Stretching is widely known to induce arterial functional factor changes, but it is unclear whether stretching alters arterial structural factors. Ultrasound shear wave e...
