Application and research progress of shear wave ultrasonic elastography in spastic limbs after stroke
Spasticity is a movement disease caused by increased velocity dependent muscle tone and ab-normal excitation of stretch reflex after damage to upper motor neurons,and its treatment depends on accurate evaluation of spasticity.One newly developed technique for assessing spasticity is shear wave ultrasonic elas-tography.It may overcome the drawbacks of other clinical muscle spasm evaluation approaches and offers the benefits of real-time,wide range of application,simplicity of operation,and economy.Therefore,this article re-viewed the application of shear-wave ultrasonic elastography in the evaluation and rehabilitation of spasticity after stroke,and prospects its application in rehabilitation of spasticity after stroke.
