Shear wave elastography reveals different degrees of passive and active stiffness of the neck extensor muscles [PDF]

, 2016
PURPOSE: The neck extensor muscles contribute to spinal support and posture while performing head and neck motion. Muscle stiffness relates to passive elasticity (support) and active tensioning (posture and movement) of muscle.
