Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound shear strain is a potential biomarker of myofascial dysfunction. However, the quality of estimated shear strains can be impacted by differences in ultrasound displacement tracking techniques, potentially altering clinical conclusions surrounding myofascial pain. This work assesses the reliability of four displacement estimation algorithms under a novel clinical hypothesis that the shear strain between muscles on a stroke-affected (paretic) shoulder with myofascial pain is lower than that on the non-paretic side of the same patient.
