Figure 1 Two-dimensional ultrasound images, thickness measurements, and ultrasonic shear wave elastography (SWE) use in controls(A) The measured value of piriformis muscle (PM) thickness on the left side of the control group was 12.0 mm. (B) The Young’s modulus value of the left PM of the control group was 8.59±4.16 kPa.
