The incidence of dysphagia was relatively high in our study population. The long-term outcome was favorable.

Sonoelastography revealed that the plantar fascia softens with age and in subjects with plantar fasciitis.

In patients with clinical findings suggestive of ACS, SWE showed that the CHL is stiffer in the symptomatic shoulder than in the unaffected shoulder.

Early ROM exercise accelerated recovery from postoperative stiffness for patients after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair but was likely to result in improper tendon healing in shoulders with large-sized tears. The choice of either protocol should be based on an accommodation of the risks of recurrent tears and postoperative shoulder stiffness.
