Data set of Spatial distribution of stiffness between and within muscles in paretic and healthy individuals during prone and standing positions

Data presented the inter- and intramuscular variability of plantar flexors stiffness during prone and standing positions at different muscle lengths in healthy and paretic individuals. Shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements were carried out on two groups: control group and stroke survivor group. Shear Modulus (μ, kPa) within three plantar flexors (the gastrocnemius medialis [GM], gastrocnemius lateralis [GL], and soleus [SOL]) was obtained during two conditions: prone and standing position, at different angles of dorsiflexion (0◦, 10◦, and 20◦). Measurements were also performed in different proximo-distal regions of each muscle.

本研究展示了健康个体和偏瘫个体在不同肌肉长度下，足跖屈肌群在俯卧位和站立位时的肌腱刚度之间的相互和内部变异。通过剪切波弹性成像（SWE）技术，对两组受试者进行了测量：对照组和卒中幸存者组。在两种条件下（俯卧位和站立位）以及不同的背屈角度（0°、10°和20°）下，对三个足跖屈肌（比目鱼肌内侧 [GM]、比目鱼肌外侧 [GL] 和足底肌 [SOL]）的剪切模量（μ，kPa）进行了测定。同时，在每个肌肉的近端-远端不同区域也进行了测量。
