Reliability of shear wave elastography for the assessment of gastrocnemius fascia elasticity in healthy individual

Abstract The mechanical properties of the deep fascia, particularly their stiffness, strongly affect the development of muscle pathologies (such as compartment syndrome) and the action of the muscles. However, the mechanical characteristics of the deep muscular fascia are still not clearly understoo...
