Hamstrings load bearing in different contraction types and intensities: A shear-wave and B-mode ultrasonographic study.

The main aim was to examine the load bearing of individual hamstring muscles in different contraction types and intensities, through local stiffness measurement by shear wave elastography (SWE). A secondary aim was to examine the relationship between the SWE stiffness measure and hamstrings morpholo...
