Reliability and quantification of gastrocnemius elasticity at relaxing and at submaximal contracted condition.

CONCLUSIONS: ARFI elastography is a reliable imaging modality for quantifying the stiffness of contracting muscles. Additionally, the characterization of pathological soft tissues by ARFI elastography would be a promising clinical practice for patients with musculoskeletal issues.
