Non-invasive assessment of human multifidus muscle stiffness using ultrasound shear wave elastography: A feasibility study.

There is a lack of numeric data for the mechanical characterization of spine muscles, especially in vivo data. The multifidus muscle is a major muscle for the stabilization of the spine and may be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic low back pain (LBP). Supersonic shear wave elastography (SWE) h...
