No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to utilize Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) to study the viscoelastic properties of tendons to understand the functional differences between normal/asymptomatic and symptomatic tendon states. The study will also assess the degree of tendon healing following standard of care treatment.

Conditions

  • Tendinopathy

Interventions

DEVICE

Shear Wave Elastography

An ultrasound (US) technique, known as shear wave elastography (SWE), is used to examine structure and biomechanical function. The examination takes place in the ultrasound room at the study site and lasts for approximately 20 minutes.
