Sheer wave elastography (SWE) represents an emerging imaging technology. This real-time imaging technique evaluates the local mechanical properties of muscles. Thus, SWE has the potential to provide more sensitive insight into muscle stiffness than flexibility assessment. Recent studies have utilized this technique to evaluate the effect of lower extremity positioning on hamstring stiffness. The relationship between stiffness measures obtained using SWE and HSMS has not, however, been established.
