Stiffness and echogenicity: Development of a stiffness-echogenicity matrix for clinical problem solving
Antonio Stecco, Carmelo Pirri, Raffaele De Caro, Preeti RaghavanAssessing soft tissue stiffness is important for many neuromusculoskeletal conditions, but can be challenging. While ultrasound can measure a tissue's echogenicity (how it reflects sound waves), this is not directly pro…

Differential displacement of soft tissue layers from manual therapy loading
Shawn Engell, John J Triano, James R Fox, Helene M Langevin, Elisa E KonofagouTo better understand how manual therapy affects the body, researchers investigated how different layers of soft tissue in the back respond to pressure. They applied a standard preparatory force to the thoracic paraspina…

Ultrasound Elastography: The New Frontier in Direct Measurement of Muscle Stiffness
Joline E Brandenburg, Sarah F Eby, Pengfei Song, Heng Zhao, Jeffrey S Brault, Shigao Chen, Kai-Nan AnThis 2014 review article describes ultrasound elastography, a technology that can directly measure the mechanical properties of tissue, such as muscle stiffness. The authors suggest that its real-time measurements can a…
