Intra‐rater reliability and smallest detectable change of compression sonoelastography in quantifying the material properties of the musculoskeletal system

Musculoskeletal conditions can change tissue elasticity. Knowledge of musculoskeletal elasticity could therefore aid clinical diagnosis and management. Sonoelastography is an ultrasound-based system that examines the material properties of tissues, and it may be useful in musculoskeletal practice. Therefore, it is important to establish its clinimetric properties. This study aimed to explore the intra-rater reliability and the smallest...
