Elastography for Muscle Biomechanics: Toward the Estimation of Individual Muscle Force

Estimation of individual muscle force remains one of the main challenges in biomechanics. This review presents a series of experiments that used ultrasound shear wave elastography to support the hypothesis that muscle stiffness is linearly related to both active and passive muscle forces. Examples o...
