Shear wave elastography of the lateral abdominal muscles in C-shaped idiopathic scoliosis: a case–control study

Abstract Considering that knowledge about lateral abdominal muscles (LAM) in idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is still very limited, the aims of this study were: (a) to compare LAM thickness and elasticity between C-shaped IS and non-scoliotic population; and (b) to compare LAM thickness and elasticity bet...
