Shear-wave Elastography of Hip Stabilizers in Healthy Individuals
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to provide a scientific basis for Shear-wave elastography measurements of hip stabilizing muscles on healthy individuals. To assess the inter- and intra-user validity, 12 healthy volunteers were recruited for ultrasonographic assessment by two experienced physiatrists.
