What is Reliability and Validity of Ultrasound Elastography for Evaluating Muscle Stiffness in Neurological Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis about?
## Abstract ## Objective Ultrasound elastography is an emerging diagnostic technology used to investigate the biomechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the psychometric properties of ultrasound elastography techniques for evaluating muscle stiffness in people with neurological conditions. ## Methods A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases was performed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Using software, reviewers independently screened citations for inclusion. Peer-reviewed studies that evaluated in vivo muscle stiffness in people with neurological conditions and reported relevant psychometric properties were considered for inclusion. Twenty-one articles were included for final review. Data relevant to measurement technique, site, and neurological condition were extracted. The Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments checklist was used to rate the methodological quality of included studies. The level of evidence for specific measurement outcomes was determined using a best-evide
