Quantitative assessment of normal middle deltoid muscle elasticity at various arm abduction using ultrasound shear wave elastography

Abstract The objective of this study is to assess the change in the normal MD elasticity using shear wave elastography (SWE) through measuring the middle deltoid (MD) elasticity in healthy participants at various arm abduction (with bilateral arms at 0 degrees abduction and 90 degrees active abducti...
