本研究的目的是比较剪切波超声弹性成像确定的颈部和肩部刚度值与肌肉硬度计获得的值，并验证颈部和肩部的客观和主观刚度之间的对应关系。24名年轻男女参与了这项研究。在6个部位测定了他们的颈部和肩部僵硬度。在开始测量之前，患者在6分口头量表上评定他们目前的颈和肩僵硬的主观症状。在所有测量部位，肌肉硬度计和剪切波超声弹性成像测定的肌肉硬度指数值之间的相关系数均不显著。此外，个人的主观颈部和肩部僵硬与他们的客观症状并不相符。这些结果表明，使用剪切波超声弹性成像是必不可少的，以更精确地评估颈部和肩部刚度。（电子邮件：rakagi12@sic.shibaura-it.ac.jp）（C）2015年世界医学和生物学超声联合会。
The goals of this study were to compare neck and shoulder stiffness values determined by shear wave ultrasound elastography with those obtained with a muscle hardness meter and to verify the correspondence between objective and subjective stiffness in the neck and shoulder. Twenty-four young men and women participated in the study. Their neck and shoulder stiffness was determined at six sites. Before the start of the measurements, patients rated their present subjective symptoms of neck and shoulder stiffness on a 6-point verbal scale. At all measurement sites, the correlation coefficients between the values of muscle hardness indices determined by the muscle hardness meter and shear wave ultrasound elastography were not significant. Furthermore, individuals' subjective neck and shoulder stiffness did not correspond to their objective symptoms. These results suggest that the use of shear wave ultrasound elastography is essential to more precisely assess neck and shoulder stiffness.
