Change in Shear Modulus of Healthy Lower Leg Muscles After Treadmill Running: Toward a Noninvasive Diagnosis of Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is an exercise-induced condition, in which high pressure develops in one or several lower leg compartments, resulting in pain, numbness, and temporary muscle paresis. Diagnosis ...
Evaluating Changes in Shear Modulus of Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament in Overhead Throwing Athletes Over the Course of a Competitive Season
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The anterior band of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is commonly subjected to repetitive stress in overhead-throwing athletes, causing high subfailure strain and change in mechanical properties of the ligament. ...
Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography of the Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament: Reliability Test and a Preliminary Case Study in a Baseball Pitcher
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Overhead throwing athletes are at high risk of the elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, and there is a need for clinical tools to objectively diagnose severity of injury and monitor recovery. Mechanical properties ...
