Contractile and Hemodynamic Modulation of Skeletal Muscle Viscoelasticity Quantified In Vivo by Ultrasound Time-Harmonic Elastography.
Skeletal muscle is a living, perfused soft tissue whose viscoelastic behavior is shaped by both voluntary contraction and hemodynamic state. However, the independent and superimposed contributions of contractile loading and blood flow restriction (BFR) have not been quantified simultaneously in real time. Twenty-six he...
