| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to visualize and quantify muscle elasticity using the innovative ultrasonic technology, and to investigate the validity and functional significance of elasticity evaluation and the possibility of clinical application. As a result, skin and fascia and orientation of muscle fibers could affected elastic measurement. In addition, it was shown that the measurement of muscle stiffness during joint movement would estimate change in individual muscle force and muscle responses to therapeutic intervention and surgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries may be evaluated.
