Background: To measure the middle deltoid (MD) muscle elasticity during different shoulder abduction in healthy participants using shear wave elastography (SWE) and analyze the factors that may affect the MD elasticity, and then to establish the reference ranges of the normal MD elasticity during different shoulder abduction. Methods: Mean shear wave velocity (SWV) of the MD in 70 healthy participants were evaluated at left and right shoulder 0° and 90° abduction (L0°, R0°, L90°, R90°) using SWE, and potential factors that may affect MD elasticity including gender, MD thickness, age, body mass index were analyzed. Normal reference ranges of MD elasticity were calculated using normal distribution method. Results: Mean SWV was statistically significantly higher at L90° than L0°, higher at R90° than R0°, higher at R0° than L0°, and higher at R90° than L90° (all p< 0.0001). Mean SWV was significantly higher in males at both L0° (p< 0.05) and R0° (p< 0.01) than in females. Neither MD thickness, age nor body mass index influenced MD elasticity. Normal reference ranges of the MD elasticity were 2.4-3.1 m/s in males and 2.2-2.9 m/s in females at L0° and 2.5-3.3 m/s in males and 2.4-3.2 m/s in females at R0°, and were 4.9-6.7 m/s at L90°, 5.2-7.1 m/s at R90° for both males and females. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the normal MD elasticity at L0°, R0°, L90°, R90° are different and gender should be considered when determining the reference ranges of normal MD elasticity at L0° and R0° with SWE. These values may provide quantitative baseline measurements for assessment of the normal MD elasticity.

“…In other words, the need for more accurate evaluation of neck muscles due to the high probability of injury, lead to the development of imaging techniques 9 . In the last three decades, there have been lots of studies conducted by researchers in the field of musculoskeletal ultrasonography with the purpose of assessing behavior and morphometric parameters of muscle in clinical programs 10,11 . Ultrasonography is a suitable noninvasive method for achieving dynamic and real time images of body structures, such as connective tissue, muscle and blood flow parameters 12 .…”

SummaryBackground: to date, an assessment of morphometric features, muscle stiffness and blood flow in the upper trapezius among healthy females at rest and contraction states has not been conducted. So, in the current research, the intra-rater reliability of ultrasonographic features of upper trapezius in healthy females was examined. Method: in this study stiffness and thickness of the upper trapezius in rest and contraction states were measured by ultrasonography on 12 healthy female subjects (28.33±5.05 years old). Color Doppler imaging was used to assess muscle circulation in the rest state only. Every step and calculation of measurements was repeated 3 times with the same rater. Therefore, in total 36 measurements were done for each variable.Results: according to the analysis, the value of intra class correlation coefficient (ICC) for total variables showed an excellent level of reliability. Thickness at contraction had maximum reliability (ICC= 0.993) and Minimum Diastolic Velocity had the lowest reliability (ICC=0.771). Conclusions: the results of current research demonstrated that real time ultrasonography is a reliable method for measurement of various parameters of upper trapezius, including morphometric features, its stiffness and blood supply in nonsymptomatic females. These mentioned variables can likely be used for objective assessment and provide numerical reference value for clinical plans.
