Quantitative assessment of muscular stiffness in children with cerebral palsy using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) ultrasound elastography

ConclusionsARFI imaging demonstrated a difference in muscle stiffness in the medial GCM between the CP and healthy groups. This method is a feasible imaging modality for the noninvasive assessment of contracting muscles in children with CP.
