This study aimed to investigate the in vivo kinematics of shear modulus of the lower leg muscles in patients with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). The study population included 46 limbs with MTSS and 40 healthy limbs. The shear modulus of the medial head of the gastrocnemius, lateral head of the gastrocnemius, soleus, peroneus longus and tibialis anterior muscles were measured using shear wave ultrasound elastography. As a result, the shear modulus of the lower leg muscles was significantly greater in patients with MTSS than in healthy patients (p < 0.01). Based on the differences in shear modulus of lower leg muscles between the patients with MTSS and healthy patients, the measurements obtained via shear wave ultrasound elastography could be used to evaluate risk factors of MTSS.
本研究旨在调查胫骨内侧应力综合征(MTSS)患者小腿肌肉剪切模量的体内运动学。研究对象包括46条患有MTSS的肢体和40条健康肢体。使用剪切波超声弹性成像技术测量腓肠肌内侧头、腓肠肌外侧头、比目鱼肌、腓骨长肌和胫骨前肌的剪切模量。结果显示,MTSS患者小腿肌肉的剪切模量显著高于健康患者(p < 0.01)。基于MTSS患者与健康患者小腿肌肉剪切模量的差异,通过剪切波超声弹性成像获得的测量结果可用于评估MTSS的风险因素。
