Dynamic Ultrasound Imaging Applications to Quantify Musculoskeletal Function

In Brief Advances in imaging methods have led to new capability to study muscle and tendon motion in vivo. Direct measurements of muscle and tendon kinematics using imaging may lead to improved understanding of musculoskeletal function. This review presents quantitative ultrasound methods for muscle dynamics that can be used to assess in vivo musculoskeletal function when integrated with other conventional biomechanical measurements. In vivo muscle and tendon kinematics assessment may lead to improved understanding of neuromuscular function.
