Summary

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms including muscle rigidity as one of major motor symptoms affecting quality of life of Parkinson's disease patients, thus we aim to assess and quantify muscle stiffness in those patients using Ultrasound shear wave elastography .

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound shear wave elastography

An ultrasound machine (GE LogiQ S8) equipped with SWE technology will be used. A high-frequency linear transducer will be used and The machine settings will be optimized for musculoskeletal applications.
