Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the
in vivo
mechanical properties of musculoskeletal tissue. We have developed an elastography based technique that uses ultrasonic data to track tissue motion and measure regional strain distributions. Using this method, as well as other quantitative ultrasound techniques (e.g. Shear Wave Elastography), we are investigating the effects of loading and age on non-uniform muscle-tendon mechanics.
