Changes in mechanical properties at the muscle level could be detected by Nakagami imaging during in-vivo fixed-end contractions

In this study, we investigated the capability of the Nakagami transformation to detect changes in vastus lateralis muscle-tendon stiffness (k) during dynamic (and intense) contractions. k was evaluated in eleven healthy males using the gold-standard method (a combination of ultrasound and dynamometr...

description In this study, we investigated the capability of the Nakagami transformation to detect changes in vastus lateralis muscle-tendon stiffness (k) during dynamic (and intense) contractions. k was evaluated in eleven healthy males using the gold-standard method (a combination of ultrasound and dynamometric measurements) during maximal and sub-maximal voluntary fixed-end contractions of the knee extensors (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% of maximum voluntary force), while Nakagami parameters were analysed using the Nakagami transformation during the same contractions. Muscle-belly behaviour was investigated by means of B-mode ultrasound analysis, while Nakagami parameters were obtained in post-processing using radiofrequency data. k was calculated as the slope of the force-muscle-belly elongation relationship. Three contractions at each intensity were performed to calculate the intra-trial reliability and the coefficient of variation (CV) of the Nakagami parameters. At all contraction intensities, high values of intra-trial reliability (range: 0.92-0.96) and low CV (
