Muscle tissue is prone to changes in composition and architecture following stroke. Changes in muscle tissue of the extremities are thought to increase passive muscle stiffness and joint impedance. These effects likely compound neuromuscular impairments exacerbating movement function. Unfortunately, conventional rehabilitation is devoid of quantitative measures yielding to subjective assessment of passive joint mobility and end feel. Shear wave ultrasound elastography is a conventional tool used...
