Dataset of Inter and intramuscular variability of stiffness in paretic individuals during prone and standing positions.

Several studies have investigated muscle rigidity using SWE. However, the assessments may not consider the most affected regions within the same muscle tissue nor the intramuscular variability of rigidity between muscles of the same muscle group, e.g.

Quantifying Plantar Flexor Muscles Stiffness During Passive and Active Force Generation Using Shear Wave Elastography in Individuals With Chronic Stroke.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of paretic and healthy plantar flexor muscles and assesses the spatial distribution of stiffness between the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and lateralis (GL) during active force generation.

Methods: Shear wave elastography measurements were conducted on a control group (CNT, n=14; age=59.9±10.

Spatial distribution of stiffness between and within muscles in paretic and healthy individuals during prone and standing positions.

This study investigated the inter- and intramuscular variability of plantar flexors stiffness during prone and standing positions at different muscle lengths in healthy and paretic individuals. To access tissue stiffness, shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements were carried out on two groups: control group (CG; n=14; age 43.9±9.
